Acts 2:38

 

An elderly woman had just returned to her home from an evening of church service when an intruder startled her. As she caught the man in the act of robbing her home of its valuables, she yelled, "Stop! Acts; 2:38!" (Repent and be baptized, in the name of Jesus Christ, so that your sins may be forgiven).

 

 The burglar stopped in his tracks. The woman calmly called the police and explained what she had done. As the officer cuffed the man to take him in, he asked the burglar, "Why did you just stand there? All the old lady did was yell a scripture to you."

 

"SCRIPTURE?" replied the burglar, "She said she had an AX and two 38's!"

St. Michael the Archangel, defend us in battle; be our safeguard against the wickedness and snares of the devil. May God rebuke him, we humbly pray. And do you, O prince of the heavenly host, by the power of God, cast into Hell Satan and all the evil spirits who prowl about the world seeking the ruin of souls. Amen.
