A drunken thief was injured after falling on the sword of a statue of St. Michael the Archangel that he was trying to steal from a church in Monterrey, Mexico.
Local media reported that during the early hours of Jan. 14, Carlos Alonso, 32, allegedly went to the Christ the King Parish in downtown Monterrey to rob the church.
In the darkness, Alonso reportedly jumped over the fence in front of the church entrance, broke a glass door, and entered the church.
While trying to flee with a statue of St. Michael the Archangel, the alleged thief tripped and fell on the angel’s sword, seriously injuring his neck. more
St. Michael the Archangel,
defend us in battle.
Be our defense against the wickedness and snares of the Devil.
May God rebuke him, we humbly pray,
and do thou,
O Prince of the heavenly hosts,
by the power of God,
thrust into hell Satan,
and all the evil spirits,
who prowl about the world
seeking the ruin of souls. Amen. . DONE
Must be running a special on karma of late.
Good thing the statue was mostly peaceful.
God will not be mocked.
Well, he received some punishment. Certainly the state won’t impose more, he seems to be BIPOC so he’s above any silly temporal law. If he died, St. Peter at the gate sees him coming, bursts out laughing, guards all laughing, nudging one another, pointing.
He will sue the church and probably win.
Remember when the churches were always open, we didn’t lock our doors, and left the keys in the vehicle.
Probably didn’t know Michael was the Warrior Angel.
Wait til he encounters the REAL one!

(Yeah I know I’m mixing sports. It’s my ‘did we quit when the Germans bombed Pearl Harbor? ‘ moment.
My favorite saint and confirmation namesake.
“The statue of St. Michael the Archangel was unharmed.”
More good news.
Did you notice in the article the church had a fence around it with a padlocked gate at the main entrance. How sad.
Who the hell would he SELL it to?
Huh.
Same way Ahnold Schwarzenegger died.

SNS,
Sometimes they are Bronze so they sell it for scrap price.
Heck, Wonderful New Canadians were stealing Man-hole covers up here before they started putting a tiny tac weld on them, and that was just Iron Price.
…and that’s why Michael, the Warrior is my favorite Archangel. His image has been my avatar for many years. Justice is swift when he’s on assignment. He always wins the battle.
God’s wrath is instant in some cases.
