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.
