Mission

Happy feast day of the Assumption of Our Queen Mary!

Our Mission:
We are to pray the Rosary, wear the Brown Scapular, and practice acts of virtue for the expansion of Mary's Reign throughout the world. 

As a way to keep us motivated, we will have a map of our conquest.  To see the map, click the "Lands Won" link on the right.  1 act of virtue = 1000 people.  So a town of 2000 would take 2 acts of the current virtue to conquer.  The number of times the virtue was practiced and town conquered should be reported in the comments, so I can then update the map.  After the town is won a simple prayer such as, "I offer the town of _____ to you Mary, Queen of Heaven and Earth" should be made by the victorious knight.

Our 1st virtue is Prudence.
From the Catechism of the Catholic Church:
1806 Prudence is the virtue that disposes practical reason to discern our true good in every circumstance and to choose the right means of achieving it; "the prudent man looks where he is going."⁶⁵ "Keep sane and sober for your prayers."⁶⁶ Prudence is "right reason in action," writes St. Thomas Aquinas, following Aristotle.⁶⁷ It is not to be confused with timidity or fear, nor with duplicity or dissimulation. It is called auriga virtutum (the charioteer of the virtues); it guides the other virtues by setting rule and measure. It is prudence that immediately guides the judgment of conscience. The prudent man determines and directs his conduct in accordance with this judgment. With the help of this virtue we apply moral principles to particular cases without error and overcome doubts about the good to achieve and the evil to avoid.

In 52 days we will move on to the next virtue.  In a year we will have focused on all of the cardinal and theological virtues. Join us in our battle cry... "For Mary!"
