Depends on what's being fought for.

The whole world is riveted, it seems, on the war in Ukraine right now — especially with Zelenskyy recently saying if his proposed talks with Putin either don't materialize or break down, we could be in a third world war.

War is always a frightening prospect, and back in the days of the Vietnam War, a multitude of songs were produced decrying war — in particular, Edwin Starr's notable hit, "War (What Is It Good For?)." The answer to the rhetorical question in the smash hit was "absolutely nothing."

That's not always the case, however, depending on what's being fought over. Sometimes, in a fallen world, war is necessary. But thinking of war in a different type of world, it's not only necessary but demanded. We're speaking here of spiritual war. Here, it is good; it's good for our salvation. In fact, without engaging in spiritual war, there is no salvation.

Here at Church Militant, spiritual war is what we are all about. And, seeing as how it's Lent, we'd like to focus on that for just a moment. We are all aware of the three pillars of Lent — prayer, fasting and almsgiving. Here at Church Militant (as a reminder), you can join us in either or both of our morning and evening Liturgy of the Hours.
