COT:
For Catholics this Sunday is Gaudete Sunday, which means Rejoice. All of the Scripture readings this Sunday encourage us to rejoice. It’s a good reminder that our faith should be a source of joy for us and for others. There’s plenty of opportunity to be disciplined and scrupulous no doubt. But it’s the joy that we live in that will bring others to Christ. So let’s be men of joy today.

COT: Read up on the history of the battle for Iwo Jima. A group of 40 men were sent to climb the 550 foot mountain under fire and amidst bombardment and given a flag to plant. Their order was: “If you get to the top, put it up.” Working out at the memorial was an important reminder that each time we bring a shovel flag to an AO and post in the morning, to remember the sacrifices that were made long ago and continue today. As it says on the memorial itself “uncommon valor was a common virtue.”
