Imploring the intercession of St. Gabriel Possenti is always a good idea too.
via Musings Over a Pint: Shooter’s Prayer.
Today is the Feast Day of Saint Gabriel Possenti, the patron Saint of handgunners. David of Musings over a Pint has a very cool prayer which I have abused into a pictorial form:
Hat Tip to Fill Yer Hands for the reminder.
I’d never heard that before. I like it. Thanks
Thanks for helping spread the word. And thanks for the very cool illustration. We just got back from the range celebrating the feast day. Now we’re raising a toast with some good beers, and steaks on the grill.
Cheers!
David
Cin cin!
Lord, Make me Fast and Accurate
Let my aim be True and my hand faster
than those who would seek to destroy me
Grant me Victory over my foes
and those that wish to do Harm to me and mine
Let not my last thought be
If I only had my gun;
and Lord, if today is truly
the day that you call me home,
Let me die in a pile of empty brass.
Damn it marC! after 50+ years of being a Catholic, i still need a cheat sheet to say the Hail Mary and you are gonna bring this litany upon me? 😀
