“May God rebuke him, we humbly pray”
I know now that I’ve read this, that I will use it some day.
heh heh heh.
It's an awesome prayer. I have to restrain myself from gesticulating, punching air, etc. when saying it. It ends, And do though, by the power of God, cast into hell Satan and all the evil spirits who prowl about the world seeking the ruin of souls.
Once at the beginning of a weekday PM Mass, I found a tick crawling up my leg. The pew in front of me was empty so I put her on it and, since the wood was light colored and the church brightly lit, I was able to keep half an eye on her for the whole service. She walked all the way down to the far end of the seat of the LONG pew, climbed to the top of the seat back, and walked all the way back to me.
Then at the end of the service, as the priest exits the laity recite the St. Michael prayer, and I just about burst out laughing at my prowling tick. I picked her up and carried her out of the church. I don't usually cut a break for a tick, but I let this one live.
