Happy feast day of Our Lady of Victory!🇻🇦🧵
On this day, 455 years ago, Oct. 7, 1571. The Catholic Holy League fleet organized by St. Pius V defeated the invading Ottoman Empire fleet at the Battle of Lepanto.
Almost 289 years later, the banner of Lepanto flew again.
Thru the intercession of our Lady of the Most Holy Rosary, may Almighty God swiftly fill the Chair of St. Peter with a worthy occupant who will restore all things in Christ

The Fathers called the Church the moon: no light of her own, only Christ's. A lunar eclipse happens one way, when the earth passes between sun and moon. Put the world between Christ and His Church and she goes dark: eclipsed, not destroyed. Roncalli called it aggiornamento.
Trooper Bradley Ritger, 29, made the ultimate sacrifice. He is the 9th Wisconsin State Trooper killed in the line of duty in recorded history.
His service and sacrifice will not be forgotten. My thoughts are with his family, friends, and co-workers during this difficult time.
