Reflections for Detective Michael O. McEntee
Thank you for your sacrifice for our nation. May you be with the Lord and may he be with your family.

Lord Jesus, as we watch America’s Peace Officers succumb to the wicked and evil in this world, it becomes difficult for us to pick up and move forward. Our communities are on the brink of exploding with tension. In light of the peace officers who are no longer with us, I pray for endurance for our communities and law enforcement agencies. Carry us through this time of trial and tribulation, that through our struggles, our bonds may grow even more unbreakable.
Finally, O Lord, if You are willing, have Your warrior servant, Michael the Archangel, God’s Defender and Protector Against Evil, who successfully defeated Satan and his fallen angels in heavenly battle because of his unwavering faith and courage, according to the Book of Revelation Chapter 12, welcome America’s Fallen Peace Officers into Your Eternal Light and comfort their loved ones and all those left behind who mourn. In Your mighty and holy Name, and by Your Power, Authority, and Sacrificial Blood, I believe and pray. Amen.
