Edit: this is also the 444th anniversary of the victory of Catholic forces over the Turk at Lepanto in 1571.
Then as now, the Church and the remnant of Christendom is under assault, but this time the foes within are as threatening as the enemies without.
Perhaps it is this virtual eclipse of the only Church founded by Jesus Christ, that His power will manifest to us, for it is only through Him that we will be victorious.
Now is a good day for everyone to petition His Mother for the graces our leaders need to guide the Church.
