Do you think I cannot call on my Father, and he will at once put at my disposal more than twelve legions of angels? Matthew 26:53
“When a strong man, fully armed, guards his own house, his possessions are safe. Luke 11:21
Et.al.

Excellent quote. I am trying to think where that appears in the Catholic rotation of the liturgy.
In the Tucson area, there is a church that has a sign that declares it is a gun=free zone. It makes me nervous to go there ( I rotate around the diocese) but I liked attending weekday Mass when Father Richard (now retired) was the celebrant.
I am reading Game of Thrones, and one character, the guardian of the Prince of Dorne carries around an axe. Do you think anyone would mind if I brought my camping tools with me?
