"Ab Hoste Maligno, Defende Me Domine"
"From the malignant enemy, defend me O Lord"
FROM THE ANIMA CHRISTI 

Just as Christ tramples the devil, so too is the stag a relentless enemy of the snake. The stag is known to draw a snake out from its hole with water, and then will crush its opponent. 

The Men of St. Cecilia meet on a regular basis.
