Are you sure about the tattoo? Nevermind, lets start from the beginning of the Boondock Saints Prayer: "And shepards we shall be, for Thee, my Lord, for Thee. Power hath descended forth from Thy hand, that our feet may swiftly carry out Thy command. So we shall flow a river forth to Thee and teeming with souls shall it ever be." The family prayer, is a prayer to illustrate an oath/oration to God, that they will do all in their power to shepherd the weak through the evils brought forth by evil men and the dissatisfaction with those who would do harm to the innocents, and giving thanks to God to be able to do something about it.
Swami Vivekananda made a big impact on the revival of Hinduism and said “God is to be worshipped as the one beloved, dearer than everything in this and next life”. The passage was made simple to understand, and it shows that William Shakespeare was very wrong almost; we were made to worship God and dwell in His absolute presence. Many times people get God’s never ending and unconditional love for them consumed by religion and then religion becomes the sole focus of a person’s life. In John 14:6 Jesus said to him “I am the way, and the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me.” So let your religion become less of a theory or a book and make it more of a love affair with The Creator of everything.
It can be seen as the first humane law ever created to protect classes of Babylonian society. However, in the epilogue, he mentioned that he is he had been called by the gods "to cause justice to prevail in the land, to destroy the wicked and the evil."

The Sermon on the Mount is one hundred percent anti retaliation. If someone even does anything evil to you, you’re supposed to turn the other cheek, forgive, and pray for the ones who did you wrong. As a people we have a hard time following this simple rule because we don’t want to let people walk all over us, but apparently that’s the ideal way to live one’s life. The main reasons for this rule of living a moral life is that everyone, righteous or evil, are children of the all mighty God above. “That ye may be the children of your Father which is in heaven: for he maketh his sun to rise on evil and on the good, and sendeth rain on the just and on the unjust.” (Matthews 676).
One example of this can easily be seen by the translations of the Christian monks. Upon their discovery and rewriting of Beowulf, the Christian monks felt it necessary to remind readers of their belief in one omnipresent God. Examples of this can be seen throughout the entire poem; just little reminders from the monks that “what God judged right would rule what happened” (page 1241), et cetera. These reminders from the monks also take on deeper meanings, reflecting the beliefs of the Christian faith. On page 1226, while Beowulf is preparing himself to battle the dragon, it is written that he “watched and controlled his God-sent strength and his outstanding natural powers.” This is an example of a strong Christian belief that is shown in the poem – everything humans have is a gift from God, the one God who has all the power in the universe.

The gigantic green knights of our lives also known as the people that we fear are capable of forgiving us for being imperfect if we own up to it, just like what Gawain did. The question that remains is did Gawain forgive Lancelot and Guinevere after he went through the Green Knight’s
