Reclaiming the Sacred

DEUS VULT! (GOD WILLS IT!) was the battle cry of the first Crusaders as they sought to reclaim the Holy Land on behalf of our Lord, Jesus Christ. We are being called to join the battle today of reclaiming the sacred and holy in our world today.

OFFER IT UP: Walking and exercise can be strenuous, so are kinds of sacrifice. The word, “sacrifice” actually means “to make holy.” Pope John Paul II said, “Prayer and sacrifice constitutes the greatest force in the universe.” We can offer up these sacrifices to God, asking Him to bring more holiness and sacred into the world, especially helping us to see all life as sacred, from conception to natural death.
