This is what General Flynn posted in response to the accusations that he had recited an “occult” prayer:
I am typing from Gen.Flynn’s Telegram; cannot copy and paste from Tele. without being a member. BTW the Monastery of St. Catherine in the Sinai desert is extremely ancient and has the oldest painted depiction of Jesus Christ known. I have that picture and will see if I can find online and post.

It would be nice if people would stop being Anti Catholic and grow up and read their history.
In early Christian iconography, the dove of the Holy Ghost is often shown with an emanation of seven rays, as is the image of the Madonna, often in conjunction with a dove or doves. The Monastery of St. Catherine on Mount Sinai, circa 565, shows the transfiguration of Christ in the apse mosaic, with “seven rays of light shining from the luminous body of Christ over the apostles Peter, James and John.” In the present day Byzantine-style St. Louis Cathedral in Missouri, the center of the sanctuary has an engraved circle with many symbols of the Holy Trinity. The inscription reads: “Radiating from this symbol are seven rays of light representing the seven gifts of the Holy Ghost.”

St. Catherine. Christian “iconography”. (Synonym for “icon” is “idol” or “graven image”, as in “Thou shalt not.) Madonna. Seven rays of light. So ... fiction. I was looking for actual Scripture references.
“Radiating from this symbol are seven rays of light representing the seven gifts of the Holy Ghost.” Where is that IN SCRIPTURE?
