A community of military jurisdiction
The military ordinariate provides pastoral care to members of the armed forces, related personnel and their families. Its territorial organization does not exactly function as an ordinary civilian parish.
Public information in the community distinguishes celebrations for military, officials and families, and others that may be attended by veterans or civilian faithful. The hours must always be checked before visiting.
The Immaculate Heart of Mary
The advocation contemplates Mary's heart as a symbol of her faith, her love for God, her union with Jesus Christ and her compassion for humanity.
It should not be confused with the Immaculate Conception: the latter refers to the grace received by Mary from the first moment of her conception; the Immaculate Heart contemplates her inner life and her faithful response.
Save and meditate
St. Luke repeated that Mary kept the events and meditated on them in her heart. For those living in discipline, mobility, family separation and risk, this spirituality calls for the unity of external and interior strength.
Devotion does not sacraalize war. Mary's heart leads to the Gospel of Christ, to the protection of life, to a straight consciousness and to the search for peace.
Prayer by military and victims
The military pastoral service is also accompanied by moral burdens, duel, physical and psychological wounds and family tensions. Marian prayer can support this accompaniment without replacing specialized medical, psychological or spiritual care.
In Korea, prayer naturally includes those who serve, the civilian population and all victims of division and conflict.

Prayer to the Immaculate Heart of Mary of Central Air Force
Mary, with an immaculate heart, keeps those who serve and their families. It forms right consciences, comforts the wounded and victims and delivers us from indifference to suffering. Let every fortress be at the service of life and let Korea go on the path of truth, reconciliation and peace. Amen.
