Courage to Fight

Today’s is the 238th anniversary of the birth of the United States Marine Corps. Tomorrow is also Veterans’ Day. While neither those who serve in uniform nor the Church glorify war, we are rightly inspired by the selfless sacrifice of those who serve in our country’s armed forces. Today’s homily explores some of the important lessons we can learn from our men and women in uniform and how we can better fight so as win the many spiritual battles we face each day as the Church Militant.
