“All men who feel any power of joy in battle, know what it is like when the wolf rises in the heart!”

Theodore Roosevelt

Until a crisis comes a man really can’t be certain if he has a fighting spirit. Trump had his moment of crisis, and after missing death by inches his immediate reaction was to raise his right fist and cry out Fight! In the next world TR is nodding his head in approval.

SANCTE Michael Archangele, defende nos in proelio, contra nequitiam et insidias diaboli esto praesidium. Imperet illi Deus, supplices deprecamur: tuque, Princeps militiae caelestis, Satanam aliosque spiritus malignos, qui ad perditionem animarum pervagantur in mundo, divina virtute, in infernum detrude. Amen.

“The true Christian is the true citizen, lofty of purpose, resolute in endeavor, ready for a hero’s deeds, but never looking down on his task because it is cast in the day of small things; scornful of baseness, awake to his own duties as well as to his rights, following the higher law with reverence, and in this world doing all that in him lies, so that when death comes he may feel that mankind is in some degree better because he has lived.”
– Theodore Roosevelt – Before the Young Men’s Christian Association, New York City, December 30, 1900

“My fellow-citizens, no people on earth have more cause to be thankful than ours, and this is said reverently, in no spirit of boastfulness in our own strength, but with gratitude to the Giver of Good who has blessed us with the conditions which have enabled us to achieve so large a measure of well-being and of happiness.”
– Theodore Roosevelt – 1905 Inaugural Speech, Washington, DC, Saturday, March 4, 1905

The church where Peter delighted to stand has just observed its centennial . It is known in Washington as the New York Avenue Church . It began its career at the time Jefferson made the Louisiana Purchase…
The church has been the worshipping place of many distinguished people. It has been called the “Church of the Presidents.” Among the modern pews is a black bench which was the seat of Abraham Lincoln…
A feature of the centennial was the occupation of this pew by President Roosevelt, and Secretary Hay, who as Mr. Lincoln’s private secretary had often sat with him there, and the speeches of these gentlemen from the pew.
“If ever there lived a president,” said Mr. Roosevelt, “who during his time of service needed all the consolation and strength that he could draw from the unseen powers above, it was Abraham Lincoln – sad, patient, mighty Lincoln, who worked and suffered for the people and when he had lived for them to good end, gave his life at the end. If ever there was a man who practically applied what is taught in our churches, it was Abraham Lincoln.”

– From “A Notable Centennial” by F.D. Power – The Christian Evangelist, Volume 40 – December 3, 1903

“Thank you to everyone for your thoughts and prayers yesterday, as it was God alone who prevented the unthinkable from happening. We will FEAR NOT, but instead remain resilient in our Faith and Defiant in the face of Wickedness. Our love goes out to the other victims and their families. We pray for the recovery of those who were wounded, and hold in our hearts the memory of the citizen who was so horribly killed. In this moment, it is more important than ever that we stand United, and show our True Character as Americans, remaining Strong and Determined, and not allowing Evil to Win. I truly love our Country, and love you all, and look forward to speaking to our Great Nation this week from Wisconsin.”
