FAITH SHIELD

We are promised:
"Let your faith be like a shield
And you will be able to stop
All the flaming arrows of the Evil One."

Ephesians 6:19

Keep me reminded of this, Oh, Lord.
Let me be always armored and shielded
against the alluring temptations of evil.

Make me a constant defender of the Cross and the Faith.
Help me adhere to the crusader's code of honor,
Marching under Your banner,
Strengthening my faith,
Defending the weak and aiding those in need.

May my burning faith in You be my trusty shield
And Your blessing be the helmet on my head.
May Your grace be my impervious breastplate
And Your power be my valiant sword.
May Your promise be my battle cry
And Your forgiveness be my final prize.
May Your Sprit sustain me in my ultimate battle
And Your angels support me in a shining victory.
May Your heavenly host welcome me
to the divine court of your saints
And to my everlasting reward in You,
my only Hope, my only Victory,
My only perfect Love.

Amen
