Today is St. Peter's Chair at Rome, on which day we recall the founding of the Church at Rome and therefore the establishment of the Eternal City, the Capital of all Christendom and the earthly throne of Apostolic authority.
Today also marks the beginning of the Octave for Christian Unity, a kind of Novena devotion for the return of all those errant soldiers of the Kingdom of God to return, to abandon their vagabondage and unite their personal struggle with the general spiritual war constantly waged by the army of Our Lord upon the devil and all his false promises and molestations. It runs from today, St. Peter at Rome, until January 25, the Conversion of St. Paul.
Join us in praying this Octave as we wage the Great Crusade within ourselves, that we might all move as one army united under our Great Leader, who is Christ and that His many brigadiers in the Episcopate and chiefly His Vicar be made worthy of their tasks and reunite themselves to His Grand Strategy.
