ROYAL CANADIAN CORPS OF SIGNALS PRAYER

Almighty God whose messengers go forth in every age giving light and understanding, grant that we of the Royal Canadian Corps of Signals who spread the word of man to man may be swift and sure in sending the message of thy truth into all the world.  May we serve thee faithfully and, with the help of thy Holy Spirit, make such success of our soldierly duties on this earth that we may be found worthy to receive the crown of life hereafter, through Jesus Christ our Lord.  Amen

This prayer was sent by Terry Murphy:  It would be great if someone out there can remember some of the history surrounding its origin. Please pass on info to  signals@bell.net    Terry
