† Our Father, who art in heaven, hallowed be thy Name. Thy kingdom come. THY WILL BE DONE, on earth as it is in heaven. Give us this day our daily bread. And FORGIVE US OUR TRESPASSES, as we forgive those who trespass against us. And lead us not into temptation, but DELIVER US FROM EVIL. †

The Holy Sacrifice of the Mass on the hood of a Jeep on the field of battle. THIS is the beauty of simplicity and humility, not some intentionally stripped uber-ugly new-construction church that could be instantly repurposed as a prison, mall or office building. These men fought and died so that they could save and go home to their beautiful cathedrals and parish churches, and so that they, their progeny, their neighbors, AND EVEN THE ENEMY could be free to always have the Church and the Church’s beauty available to them. Anyone who thinks that beauty is antithetical to God and the worship of Him has got to be a blithering, slack-jawed imbecile and theological illiterate. Or a Jesuit.

The Assault Weapons are the men kneeling of the left side of the frame.
