This is VERY funny and we were happy to share it on our national radio program today!

Our responsibility is, as Our Lady of Fatima, teaches us so clearly, to transform the situation of the world and the Church by overcoming in our lives any sin and darkness, by daily turning to Christ and seeking to follow him with all our heart. https://t.co/bXHZJKWroO

1/3 Earlier today, it was a great joy to host the five men who will soon be ordained as our newest Permanent Deacons at the Archdiocesan Pastoral Center for Mass followed by breakfast and fellowship. We were blessed to be joined by their wives, who have supported them throughout

Great knowledge!!
On Jeopardy the other night, the final question was, How many steps does the guard take during their walk across the Tomb of the Unknowns? ------ All three missed it ---
This is really an awesome sight to watch if you've never had the chance Very fascinating.
Tomb of the Unknown Soldier
1. How many steps does the guard take during their walk across the tomb of the Unknowns and why?
21 steps. It alludes to the twenty-one gun salute, which is the highest honor given any military or foreign dignitary.
2. How long do they hesitate after their about face to begin their return walk and why?
21 seconds for the same reason as answer number 1
3. Why are their gloves wet?
Their gloves are moistened to prevent losing their grip on the rifle.
4. Do they carry their rifle on the same shoulder all the time and if not, why not?
They carry the rifle on the shoulder away from the tomb.
After their march across the path, they execute an about face and move the rifle to the outside shoulder.
5. How often are the guards changed?
Guards are changed every thirty minutes, twenty-four hours a day, 365 days a year.
6. What are the physical traits of the guard limited to?
For a person to apply for guard duty at the tomb, they must be between 5' 10' and 6' 2' tall and their waist size cannot exceed 30.' Other requirements of the Guard:
They must commit 2 years of life to guard the tomb, live in a barracks under the tomb, and cannot drink any alcohol on or off duty.
They cannot swear in public and cannot disgrace the uniform or the tomb in any way. After two years, the guard is given a wreath pin that is worn on their lapel signifying they served as guard of the tomb. There are only a little over 600 presently worn.
The guard must obey these rules while serving as guards or for the rest of their lives if they choose.
The shoes are specially made with very thick soles to keep the heat and cold from their feet. There are metal heel plates that extend to the top of the shoe in order to make the loud click as they come to a halt.
There are no wrinkles, folds or lint on the uniform.
Guards dress for duty in front of a full-length mirror.
The first six months of duty a guard cannot talk to anyone, nor watch TV.
All off-duty time is spent studying the 175 notable people laid to rest in Arlington National Cemetery. A guard must memorize who they are and where they are interred.
Among the notables are: President Taft, Joe E. Lewis (the boxer) and Medal of Honor winner Audie Murphy, (the most decorated soldier of WWII) of Hollywood fame.
Every guard spends five hours a day getting their uniforms ready for guard duty.
ETERNAL REST GRANT THEM O LORD, AND LET PERPETUAL LIGHT SHINE UPON THEM.
In 2003 as Hurricane Isabelle was approaching Washington , DC , our US Senate/House took 2 days off with anticipation of the storm. On the ABC evening news, it was reported that because of the dangers from the hurricane, the military members assigned the duty of guarding the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier were given permission to suspend the assignment.
They respectfully declined the offer, 'No way, Sir!' Soaked to the skin, marching in the pelting rain of a tropical storm, they said that guarding the Tomb was not just an assignment, it was the highest honor that can be afforded to a serviceperson.
The tomb has been patrolled continuously, 24/7, since 1930.
God Bless and Keep Them
I don't usually suggest that many posts be reshared, but I'd be very proud if this one reached as many people as possible.
We can be very proud of our young men and women in the service no matter where they serve.
Duty - Honor - Country

RESPECT!

In 2017, retired Marine staff sergeant Jose Sanchez, who lost part of his left leg in Afghanistan, ran the entire Boston Marathon carrying an American flag!

Thank you for your service
This is America I love 🇺🇸

...and still the people didn't see...

This video has absolutely blown up on twitter and I am being told it might be removed from YouTube so here it is.

You'll want to share this one.

Most people have no idea how much this flag means to veterans. Thank you for picking up our American Flag. Thank you for your service. 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸

@HarrisonGarlic1 Pray from your heart. You do not need a magic formula. Psalm 51 " a contrite, humbled heart, O God, you will not scorn." Pray with humility, thanksgiving, and reverence. If your prayer aligns with His Will, God gives all good things to his children.

[James Flanagan @FlanaganOnFaith]

A good reminder this Holy Week. Be sure to share!

[Hodgetwins @hodgetwins]

It’s the truth 🔥

[Dude's World @Dude031369741]

I received "The Call" from the Archbishop today. It was a surreal day. I would ask for your prayers. Thank you to all my family that supported me through these last 6 years. I am humbled and blessed.

Tyson is closing its facility in Perry, Iowa and laying off its 1,200 workers.

Instead, they plan to hire thousands of new illegals in states like New York.

#BoycottTyson. Pass it on.

[Dude's World @Dude031369741]

@harlan5kitten @HarrisonGarlic1 I would make the observation, you are making the same mistake many in the OT made. You are putting yourself above God, judging, labeling, and believing you can understand God's Mind. We need to take the I from things and be humble and obedient. I could go on but character limit

[Marc J. Randazza 🇺🇸 🇮🇹 🇧🇷 @marcorandazza]

Any firefighter who fears repercussions for this, contact me.

I will see to it that you have free representation.

You run into burning buildings for us, I'll make sure someone runs into a courthouse for you.

We need more if this please.

A teenager asked a girl to prom as if it were Medieval England. His friends helped him do it in the best way possible.
