If you could pray a St. Michael prayer for us, I would appreciate it. There has been a suspicious vehicle "casing" our neighborhood. I only found this out because the man in this vehicle was watching me intently as I packed the kids in the car to go out...and he kept changing locations...very very weird and creepy.
I reported this, and was then told that a similar vehicle was spotted last night in a cul-de-sac running with its lights off...at the time, the make and model was unknown, though I provided that info today and am kicking myself for not getting the license plate, telling myself I was being too dramatic. Stupid me.
Please pray for our safety. I do not like the fact that he was watching me and my children for about 10 minutes!!!
Dh knows. Thank God his business trip scheduled to start today was canceled! A God-thing for sure.

Praying now for you and yours. Be vigilant. Maybe bring a camera with you when you go out?
I've been followed by weirdos before; I completely understand how you feel. Safety is your priority. Note license plate numbers. Keep lights on outside and talk with your neighbors so they are aware.
St. Michael the Archangel, protect Maggie and her family as you protect all devout souls from Satan's snare. Be vigilant during these days of worry, and intercede with Our Lord for Maggie, her family, and all those who might come in contact with people who have criminal intentions. As you fought Lucifer and his fallen angels, so, too, fight prayerfully for Maggie and her beloved husband and children, and for anyone in her neighborhood who might be at risk. We ask this through Christ, our Lord, who conquered sin and death, and through our Heavenly Father, who delivers us from evil.
Amen.

Oh, no...Be careful, a camera would be good, or maybe just your phones camera. Stay clear and safe and keep the children close. Praying for you

Praying for protection, Maggie. Seconding the idea of keeping a camera ready. I would also keep your children under very close watch. If you have a dog, keep them near the house, where they can sound an alarm, day or night. An air horn was recently suggested to me, as a way to ward off unwelcome prowlers. We've walked the perimeter of our property in the past, sprinkling blessed salt and holy water, while praying the Chaplet of Protection. Your best defense is good offense, as well as the power of prayer and sacramentals! May God, and all His holy angels and saints, watch over your family, keep you all safe, protect you, and give you a profound sense of peace under God's mighty hedge of grace and protection.

Yes. I did our perimeter with blessed salt yesterday. Will do holy water inside today.
What is the chaplet of protection?

CHAPLET OF PROTECTION
The chaplet is said by starting with the Crucifix and reciting the Apostles' Creed, then the Our Father, followed by three Hail Mary's on the group of three beads nearest the Crucifix.
~First Hail Mary in praise of God the Father;
~Second Hail Mary in petition or (mention your request);
~Third Hail Mary in thanksgiving with confidence that your request will be granted.
On ALL the Gloriam (Glory be to the Father...) beads, recite "Holy God, Holy Omnipotent One, save us who dwell in this land."
On EACH decade, on EACH Hail Mary bead (10), recite "Jesus Savior, merciful Savior, spare your people."
On completion of the fifth decade, recite "Son of God, Eternal Son, thank You for the things You have done." Say this a total of three (3) times to complete the Chaplet of Protection.
Jesus attached specific promises of protection to this prayer. This prayer goes even FURTHER than storms, natural disasters, and military strife. It has a GREAT HEALING POWER attached to it, as well, in that it can mend broken marriages, and cure spiritual, physical and emotional troubles. It has "another dimension of protection, even greater than what we can understand at this time."
In the context of protection against storms, natural disasters, and increasing global military tension, Jesus has asked us to URGENTLY spread this special devotion. It is NOT intended to replace the everyday Rosary of our Blessed Mother.
All the prayers may be said in your native language and by using a typical Rosary.

Wow. I knew none of that.
When and to whom was this Chaplet revealed?

Praying for your family's safety and wellbeing. The blessed salt sounds wonderful, we have incredible protection with that sacramental.

I've been praying for you since you posted! We had 3 robberies 3 days in a row in our neighborhood a couple of weeks ago and no one got descriptions or plates! Around here we're just not used to thinking that way and so I've been trying to be more aware of the cars that drive by. I can sympathize with you not thinking to get the plates. Praying LOTS for your safety. I understand the "alone" feeling. I volunteer in a window-less bookstore and am alone for about 1 1/2 hours a week. I don't like it and am trying to find a solution.
