WASHINGTON, Sept. 4, 2012 – The military’s top enlisted leader wants service members to use September’s National Suicide Prevention and Awareness Month as an opportunity to learn what to do when a fellow service member, family member or veteran reaches out for help.

Marine Corps Sgt. Maj. Bryan B. Battaglia, senior enlisted advisor to Army Gen. Martin E. Dempsey, chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, said service members who seek assistance — and those who are in a position to offer it — need to know that it’s OK not to be OK.

Over the past few months, I have been reflecting a great deal about prayer, particularly about the Psalms which I reflect upon daily in the Divine Office.

Every priest is required to pray the breviary, which is comprised of several sections. One is the Office of Readings, which has three Psalms and two readings, one of which is Scripture, the other a selection from one of the Fathers of the Church or a Vatican Council II document.
