To step into the breach, we must begin by recognizing an important reality: that we are engaged in a battle for the hearts and souls of every person.
This battle is real, and it is spiritual. It began before we were born and will continue until Christ comes again. It is larger than any of us can see. It includes angelic beings, the men and women who have gone before us in the faith, as well as each of us. As Knights we have committed in a special way to engage in this battle in defense of our families, our parishes, our communities, and our world. And yet, since the turn of the millennium, millions of men have left the Catholic faith. There is a sizeable breach in the lines.
