“Airplanes must have runways before they can fly. What the runway is to the airplane, the Rosary beads are to prayer – the physical start to gain spiritual altitude.”

                          ~Fulton J. Sheen

For Reflection:

To what extent has the Rosary been a runway to spiritual altitude for me in my life? How has it led me into a deeper understanding of God’s presence in my life?

Warriors/Knights of the Kingdom: The concept of a kingdom and knighthood may be a bit difficult for us 21st Century Americans to identify with and really understand because, as Americans, we are not accustomed to this kind of rule. As a matter of fact, over two hundred years ago this country rebelled against a king, King George of England, and the American Revolution in 1776 resulted.  We established a government known as a Republic, which has an elected president as its leader.  The president's son does not inherit the presidency.
