That's ALL of us, folks!

We are all involved in struggling to let the truth of Jesus Christ be known.

~ PRAYER ~

St. Michael, the Archangel, defend us in battle
 Be our protection against the wickedness
and snares of the devil;
May God rebuke him, we  humbly pray,
 and do thou, O Prince of the heavenly host,
 by the power of God,
 Cast into hell Satan and all evil spirits
who prowl through the world seeking the ruin of souls.
 Amen

CHURCH MILITANT

Like every truth illuminated by the Church, I love this term.

Not least becuase it really tweaks the Church's enemies, when you look at them and say it like you believe it.
