RFF - FREEDOM FIGHTERS
No matter where or who we are someone in our family history fought so their children and children's children - you and I - could live in freedom today.  Millions, one on one, spilled their life's blood to free us from tyranny. Freeing us from a monarchy so we could begin as a new nation under God, 'With liberty and justice for all' its citizens, you and me.  We are reminded of how our lord, Jesus Christ gave his life blood so we could be saved from sin.

Today, we continue to pray for peace and thank our military for their service. We must never loose sight of the fact that those who havc passed are still in the war to protect our generations freedom! How can this be?  As intercessors? Read on!
+
As our prayer warriors know - when a land is healed of evil, when prayers, freedom fighters, leave the land empty without protection, evil comes back in and retakes it over - again. pray, pray, pray for our protection and generations to come.

PATRIOTS - WHO WERE THEY?
Our early patriots - People from all walks of life who cared. Think of it, our framers, our founders, were plantation owners, farmers, doctors and business men and some were lawyers. Not unlike us today., Am I a Patriot?

*DREAMS of OUR FOREFATHERS*
  OR DREAMS OF MY FATHER?
whose dreams do we follow?
The dreams of our forefathers are not the same as "Dreams From My Father" (1995 -  a book written by 'one man', Barack Hussein Obama, (POTUS.) Our forefathers, the Patriots of our nation, in co-operation and prayer, wrote down their dreams for a new nation - under God - not published in a book you can read  - but on parchment you can live.  We call those dreams the "Constitution of the United Sates" 
+
BILL OF RIGHTS
This living parchment was signed by 40 delegates - not one man - and the "Bill of Rights" was signed by 56.  The First Amendment followed and was adopted December 15, 1791.  Whose dreams are we to follow? Those of one or of many?
+
 EPHESIANS 6:10-17
The battle against evil
 10  Finally, draw your strength from the Lord and from his mighty power.  11 Put on the armor of God so that you may be able to stand firm against the tactics of the devil.   12 For our struggle is not with flesh and blood but with the principalities, with the powers, with the world rulers of this present darkness, with the evil spirits in the heavens. 
 +
OUR WOUNDED  +  OUR FALLEN
The rosaries below were inspired by our freedom fighters who suffered trauma and death in the battle to protect peace in our land. Today they are still our great spiritual warriors and todays wounded are gifted wit the power of redemptive suffering.

  HEBREWS 12:3-6
  3  Consider how he endured such opposition from sinners, in order that you may not grow weary and lose heart.  4  In your struggle against sin you have not yet resisted to the point of shedding blood.  5 You have also forgotten the exhortation addressed to you as sons: "My son, do not disdain the discipline of the Lord or lose heart when reproved by him; 6  for whom the Lord loves, he disciplines; he scourges every son he acknowledges."

Some where in this list below, a relative stands.

PASSING ON THE GIFT

COMMUNION OF SAINTS? 
PRAYER WARRIORS?
Trace you family members who fought in these conflicts, wars to bring peace to this land. How are we spending this freedom and carrying it on to our children and future generations? How many of these relatives are now in the communion of saints and are willing to continue as prayer warriors to free our country from those who want to destroy our freedom, if only we ask? 

*HOW WE MAY SERVE*
 WE ARE 
THE CHURCH MILITANT
The church on earth is called the Church MIlitant, in purgatory, The Church Penitent and in heaven, The Church Triumphant..  Do we know how to be members of the Church Militant?  Did you know there is a Field Manual out  as of June 2012 called the CHURCH MILITANT FIELD MANUAL?" to teach us how to respond to the call of Spiritual Heroism?

NO, WE SHALL NOT BE SAVED BY A 
FORMULA BUT BY A PERSON -JPII
+
+
 CHURCH MILITANT FIELD MANUAL
 "No, we shall not be saved by a formula but by a person"JPII 
(A Program for all times) " A Training in Holiness,  written by Father Rick Fr. Rick Heilman.  The spiritual devastation of the last few decades compelled Pope John Paul II to draw up his master plan for the New Millennium, the Apostolic Letter At the beginning of the third millennium, a “program for all times.” In his plan, he emphasized the importance of “starting afresh from Christ”: “No, we shall not be saved by a formula but by a Person.” Thus, Pope John Paul II called for pastoral initiatives that would focus on “Training in Holiness” and “Schools of Prayer.” (see Knights of Divine Mercy link, bottom of page)

WE ARE ONE IN CHRIST
Over the centuries many of our volunteer and paid firefighters and peace keepers have suffered injuries and died in the line of duty.  This is true with our protectors of peace, our local and state police, and those who protect our boarders and shores. We need to ask them - along with our military - to intercede for us  as the: 
+
Communion of Saints
Cloud of Witnesses
Mystical Body of Christ
+
1st CORNTHIANS 12:12,20,26 

As a body is one though it has many parts, and all the parts of the body, though many, are one body, so also Christ.....there are many parts, yet one body. If [one] part suffers, all the parts suffer with it; if one part is honored, all the parts share its joy.
 +
WOUNDED AND FALLEN
The war rages on, and even if our wounded and fallen today are not in the battle of flesh, they are still in the battle. THE WOUNDED: Those wounded who suffer pain every day are still able to offer their pain as redemptive sufferers.  THE FALLEN: Those who have fallen in battle are still able to fight the war through intercessory prayer as members of the Communion of saints, The Cloud of Witnesses and the Mystical Body of Christ. As intercessors, they are more powerful than we know!
+
REDEMPTIVE SUFFERING
 CCC # 1505 - The Catechism of the Catholic Church encourages and reminds us of our vocation: "By His passion and death on the Cross, Christ has given a new meaning to suffering: it can henceforth configure us to Him and unite us with His redemptive passion" 
 +
STILL ABLE
No matter where or who we are someone in our family history or ancestry, fought and gave their lives so their children and children's children - you and I - could live in freedom.  Millions, one on one, spilled their life's blood to free us from tyranny and reminding us of how our lord, Jesus Christ gave his life blood so we could be saved from sin. 
+
WHO IS THE 
MYSTICAL BODY OF CHIRST?
CCC 1396 The unity of the Mystical Body: the Eucharist makes the Church. Those who receive the Eucharist are united more closely to Christ. Through it Christ unites them to all the faithful in one body - the Church. Communion renews, strengthens, and deepens this incorporation into the Church, already achieved by Baptism. In Baptism we have been called to form but one body.233 The Eucharist fulfills this call: "The cup of blessing which we bless, is it not a participation in the blood of Christ? The bread which we break, is it not a participation in the body of Christ? Because there is one bread, we who are many are one body, for we all partake of the one bread:"234 
+
REVELATION 5: 8
  When he took it, the four living creatures and the twenty-four elders fell down before the Lamb. Each of the elders held a harp and gold bowls filled with incense, which are the prayers of the holy ones.
 +
 COMMUNION OF SAINTS?
CCC 1475 In the communion of saints, "a perennial link of charity exists between the faithful who have already reached their heavenly home, those who are expiating their sins in purgatory and those who are still pilgrims on earth. Between them there is, too, an abundant exchange of all good things."87 In this wonderful exchange, the holiness of one profits others, well beyond the harm that the sin of one could cause others. Thus recourse to the communion of saints lets the contrite sinner be more promptly and efficaciously purified of the punishments for sin. 
+
HEBREWS 12:1-2
1  Therefore, since we are surrounded by so great a cloud of witnesses, let us rid ourselves of every burden and sin that clings to us  and persevere in running the race that lies before us  2  while keeping our eyes fixed on Jesus, the leader and perfecter of faith.
+
THE CLOUD OF WITNESSES?
CCC 2683 The witnesses who have preceded us into the kingdom,41 especially those whom the Church recognizes as saints, share in the living tradition of prayer by the example of their lives, the transmission of their writings, and their prayer today. They contemplate God, praise him and constantly care for those whom they have left on earth. When they entered into the joy of their Master, they were "put in charge of many things."42 Their intercession is their most exalted service to God's plan. We can and should ask them to intercede for us and for the whole world.
