Policeman ()
Return to product listingsof Police, who once so neatly and successfully
cleared God's premises of all it's 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.
