Prayer
Police Officer's Prayer to St. Michael
St. Michael, Heaven's glorious
Commissioner of Police, who once so
neatly and successfully cleared God's
premises of all its undesirables, look
with kindly and professional eye on
your earthly force.
Give us cool heads, stout hearts,
hard punches, an uncanny flair for
investigation and wise judgment.
Make us the terror of burglars, the
friend of children and law-abiding
citizens, kind to strangers, polite to
bores, strict with law-breakers and
impervious to temptations.
You know, St. Michael, from your
own experiences with the devil that the
policeman's lot on earth is not always
a happy one; but your sense of duty
that so pleased God, your hard knocks
that so surprised the devil, and your
angelic self-control give us inspiration.
And when we lay down our night
sticks, enroll us in your Heavenly
Force, where we will be as proud to
guard the throne of God as we have
been to guard the city of men. Amen.
