A Prayer to St. Michael, The Arch Angel

St. Micheal, My Protector.

Saint Michael

the Arch Angel

I come before you

a soul made in the image of our God and Lord.

Forgive this human form that I bring before you

which is but the temporary host of my soul.

I humbly ask you to be my Defender in overcoming

the temptations of the Devil that approach me each day

from my physical life on this earth.

Protect me and defend me so that I may bring

greater glory and worship to my God and Lord.

When death finally releases me from this world

be at my side as I approach the Lord of my future home.

I render you all my praise and joy in His name.

Oh Protector

that I wear about my neck each day

in rememberance of my prayer to you

keep me ever mindful of God’s Love for me.

It was the former Police Chief of McKinney, Texas that e-mailed me shortly after the posting of my poem on the web. He asked permission for his offcers to be able to carry this poem which I granted. It seems that St. Michael is the patron protector of police officers, medical response persons and even paratroopers.
