“There is no problem, I tell you, no matter how difficult it is,
that we cannot resolve by the prayer of the Holy Rosary.”
– Sr. Lucy of Fatima

“…and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it.” – Matthew 16:18

Bishop Olmsted noted in his homily for the 21st Sunday of Ordinary Time (August 27, 2017) [https://youtu.be/Duwn4HxsG_E] that the spirit of this verse is not meant to be one of us trembling in our rooms as we are assaulted from outside. Instead, we are to be on the offensive and, as we go out an engage the world, that gates fly open. Let us go in confidence.
