Even though Patton was a man bent on winning the war,
he still took the time to pray about the day.
Almighty and most merciful Father, we humbly beseech
Thee, of Thy great goodness, to restain these
immoderate rains with which we have had to contend.
Grant us fair weather for Battle. Graciously hearken
to us as soldiers who call Thee that, armed with Thy
power, we may advance from victory to victory, and crush
the oppession and wickedness of our enemies, and establish
Thy justice among men and nations. Amen
