A post from the archives (with an update!)…from a writer who’s struggling to write…a student who’s struggling to study…and wife, mother and home educator who’s struggling to fulfill the many aspects of this worthy vocation.

Most Catholics refer to the “deposit of the Faith.” For my guys…it’s more like an arsenal!
Consider my son’s observation (keep in mind that this young man is a Master of Ceremonies for the Extraordinary Form of the Mass…a weighty responsibility!):
Zachary: “Hey mom…what are the weapons of the Mass?”
Now I’m thinking: the sacraments, grace, worship and adoration…

is more powerful than this missile:

this torch:
is much more powerful than this torch:
And the Catholic Church has been fighting censorship for years. The Mass is still the answer…
Because this censer…
Is infinitely more powerful than this censor:
The Holy Sacrifice of the Mass…now you know where we keep our weapons of Mass instruction!
Blessings from the mother of four soldiers in the Lord’s Army,
