THE POLICE OFFICERS PRAYER TO ST. MICHAEL Saint Michael, heavens glorious commissioner of police, who once so neatly and successfully cleared Gods premises of all its undesirables, look with kindly and professionaleyes on your earthly force.Give us cool heads, stout hearts, and uncanny flair for investigation and wise judgement.Make us the terror of burglars, the friend of children andlaw-abiding citizens, kind to strangers, polite to bores,strict with law-breakers and impervious to temptations.You know, Saint Michael, from your own experiences with the devil that the police officers lot on earth is notalways a happy one; but your sense of duty that sopleased 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 yourheavenly force, where we will be as proud to guard the throne of God as we have been to guard the city of all the people. Amen. A POLICE OFFICERS PRAYER Lord I ask for courage Courage to face and Conquer my own fears... Courage to take me Where others will not go... I ask for strength Strength of body to protect others And strength of spirit to lead others... I ask for dedication Dedication to my job, to do it well Dedication to my community To keep it safe... Give me Lord, concern For others who trust me And compassion for those who need me... And please Lord Through it all Be at my side... --Author Unknown
