Their weapons are not guns and swords; they are prayer and good works. Christ is their Captain. He leads His soldiers against the enemy, and all who follow Him and do as He commands are victorious. Since the world began there have been thousands of faithful soldiers who have fought in God’s army. Among them were bishops and priests, monks and nuns, kings and queens, rich men and peasants, grown people and children. These have now gone to live forever in Heaven with the Captain, Christ. Some of them have been canonized by the Church, and these we call Saints. The names of many of Christ’s soldiers we know, and the stories of their lives are written in books, that we may learn to love the brave and noble deeds they performed for God.

What is necessary for him? Behold the warrior, as he goes forth to the field of battle. Is he not amply provided with' all needful weapons? When you, my dear young friend, go forth into the world, you are going to encounter mighty enemies, the enemies of your soul. You must, therefore, put on a strong suit of armor, one which is capable of protecting you. And what is this suit of armor? The apostle St. Paul describes it in the following words: "Put you on the armor of God, that you may be able to stand against the deceits of the devil" (Eph. vi. n). The first and most powerful weapon in this suit of armor is the shield of faith, as the same apostle says: "In all things taking the shield of faith, wherewith you may be able to extinguish all the fiery Feasts and Fasts : Birthdays and Other Occasions: _________________________________ _________________________________ _________________________________ _________________________________ _________________________________ _________________________________ _________________________________ _________________________________ _________________________________ _________________________________ _________________________________ _________________________________ 4 Tuesday 5 Wednesday 6 Thursday 7 Friday 8 Math Reading Religion Monday NOTES: Son, let no man take away The Faith that is thy soul’s chief stay; Count it as thy dearest treasure, Far beyond earth’s wealth or pleasure. ____________________________ ____________________________ ____________________________ ____________________________ ____________________________ ____________________________ ____________________________ 11 Tuesday 12 Wednesday 13 Thursday 14 Friday Math Reading Religion Monday NOTES: ____________________________ ____________________________ ____________________________ ____________________________ ____________________________ ____________________________ ____________________________ Calm when fiercest storms prevail.
