Don&amp;rsquo;t take this lightly. &lt;/p>
&lt;p>Father Richard Heilman and folks at &lt;a href="https://www.romancatholicman.com/saint-patricks-lorica-protection-president-trump-2/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">the Holy League&lt;/a> have asked Christians to pray the Lorica of St. Patrick for Justice Kavanaugh, substituting &amp;ldquo;Brett Kavanaugh&amp;rdquo; or &amp;ldquo;Justice Kavanaugh&amp;rdquo; for the first person pronouns.&lt;/p>
&lt;p>This is a powerful prayer that&amp;rsquo;s more than 1,500 years old! (St. Patrick arrived in Ireland around 432 A.D.) This prayer helped him overcome the spells of the Druids. It can certainly thwart the evil intentions of a bunch of witches in New York.&lt;/p>
