A Prayer for the Memphis Police Department

San Michele Arcangelo, ora pro nobis

Our thoughts and prayers go out to the family and friends of Officer Joseph McKinney, who was shot and killed, and the two other Memphis Police officers wounded in the line of duty on Friday, April 12th in Memphis, Tennessee. Once again, innocent blood stains the hands of soft-on-crime politicians and ideologues who allow dangerous recidivists to commit more violent crimes. May St. 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
