Policeman's Prayer to St. Michael the Archangel |
|
Victorious St. Michael, you know how evil people are awake and plotting while good people sleep. Even so was faithless Judas awake and betraying Our Lord while the Apostles slumbered in the Garden of Gethsemane. Help me, powerful Archangel of God, to be always alert at my post, ever ready to do my duty, and to apprehend criminals without fear or favor. Please be near me and my fellow police in times of peril and emergency. Defend us by your power when we are in danger. Be sure to shield us from all temptation and any occasion of sin. Help us to preserve our integrity and retain God's love in every trial. Just as you were able, by God's power, to cast Satan into hell, may we always be able to control, subdue, and confine malfactors and evildoers in God's Name. Amen. |
