## Resource

In this Lenten Mission sermon Father discusses the meaning of Holy Week through the lens of spiritual warfare, emphasizing the necessity of fidelity to Christ and His Church as the sole path to salvation. The Church is the Church Militant and Catholics need to actively engage in prayer, sacrifice, and defense of the Faith amid widespread apostasy and internal corruption. We need to persevere and maintain devotion to the sacraments and the Blessed Virgin, being ready to suffer as the Church endures her present and intensifying crisis.
