Our thoughts and prayers go out to the family and friends of Officer Nicholas Ryan Smarr of the Americus Police Department and Officer Jody Smith of the Georgia Southwestern State University Police Department who were killed in the line of duty on December 7th in Americus, Georgia. May Saint Michael the Archangel, Patron Saint of Police Officers, protect and watch over you.
Prayer for Police Officers
O Almighty God, Whose great power and eternal wisdom embraces the universe, watch over all policemen and law enforcement officers everywhere. Protect them from harm In the performance of their duty to stop crime, robbery, riots and violence. We pray, help them keep our streets and homes safe, day and night. We commend them to your loving care because their duty is dangerous. Grant them strength and courage In their daily assignments. Dear God, protect these brave men and women. Grant them your almighty protection, Unite them safely with their families after duty has ended. Please God, grant us this wish. Amen
