AMEN!

A prayer Alice sent me several years ago and I would like to post it for Fr. Gregory...

God, our Lord, King of ages, All-powerful and
All-mighty, you who made everything and who transforms everything simply by your will. You who in Babylon changed into dew the flames of the "seven-times hotter" furnace and protected and saved the three holy children. You are the doctor and the physician of our soul. You are the salvation of those who turn to you. We beseech you to make powerless, banish, and drive out every diabolic power, presence, and machination; every evil influence, malefice, or evil eye and all evilactions aimed against your servant: Fr. Gregory...where there is envy and malice, give Fr Gregory an abundance of goodness, endurance, victory, and charity. O Lord, you who love man, we beg you to reach out your powerful hands and your most high and mighty arms and come to our aid. Help Fr. Gregory who is made in your image; send the angel of peace over us, to protect us body and soul. May him keep at bay and vanquish every evil power, every poison or malice invoked against us by corrupt and envious people. Then, under the protection of your authority may we sing, in gratitude, "The Lord is our salvation; whom should we fear? I will not fear evil because you are with us, my God, my strength, my powerful Lord, Lord of peace, Father of all ages." Yes, Lord our God, be merciful to Fr. Gregory, your image, and save your servant, Fr. Gregory...from every threat or harm from the evil one, and protect us all by raising us above all evil. We ask you this through the intercession of our Most Blessed, Glorious Lady, Mary ever Virgin, Mother of God, of the most splendid archangels and all your saints.
Amen!"
