We all became soldiers of Christ at Confirmation. We need to relearn the discipline of that spirit. Thank you for this post and for the others that you have given us. They are always uplifting.
Great movies! Onward Christian Soldiers!
In my time in the scouts it was the Catholic Boy Scouts of Ireland but now I think it has become multi- or non-denominational. This is just another example of what we have lost of our Catholic Heritage.
