Pray Early and Pray Often
Rumors of impending difficulties have become much louder in the past few days. Many reservists are being called to active duty. These men and women and their families need our prayers and our support. For the men and women engaged in action, our constant support of prayer and fasting (we can sacrifice a little for the spiritual benefit of those who sacrifice much). For those left behind, our emotional, physical, temporal, and if necessary financial support. Some few make a tremendous sacrifice on behalf of all of us.
Most particularly, please pray for Mr. Eric Johnson, a contributor to the Catholic Light blog--a man with two probably youngish children and a third expected within five weeks. Unfortunately he will be leaving for active duty within the week and not returning, so far as he can tell, for six months or more. Please remember him and his family in your prayers.
