Prayer to St. Michael on the eve of deployment.






I am not necessarily a "religious" man per say, but I would call myself a "spiritual" person. On the eve of my first deployment I would like to post a prayer that has been written in many languages; Greek, Latin, and English to name a few, and has very deep meaning to me...So deep in fact that the first 2 lines are tattooed on my arm along with an image of St. Michael...


Saint Michael the Archangel,
defend us in battle;
be our protection against the wickedness and snares of the devil.
May God rebuke him, we humbly pray:
and do thou, O Prince of the heavenly host,
by the power of God,
thrust into hell Satan and all the evil spirits
who prowl about the world seeking the ruin of souls.
Amen

To all the men and women who are in harms way right now, I pray you all come home safe to your loved ones and get to enjoy a humble life. To all of my fallen brothers and sisters in battle, and those that may fall in the future...go with peace, strength, love, honor, and courage. Know that you have done a great deed sacrificing your life for our nation and that you will never be forgotten in the hearts of all...Be Strong.
