a mystical soldier is born

On January 4th, the Octave of the Holy Innocents, a dear friend of Fr. WB's, Br. Benedict, professed his solemn vows as a monk of the Monastery of St. Benedict in Norcia, Italy. The brothers there are the custodians of the Basilica of Saints Benedict and Scholastica, built over the house where the holy twins were born. These men are worthy of your support. They do good work. I can attest to that. Pray for them if you think of it. Send them some money, if you can (see their website for details on how).

Here are some pictures from the occasion:
