COMBAT ROSARY WARRIOR’S CREED

This is my rosary. There are many like it, but this one is mine.

My rosary is my best friend. Its prayer is my life. I must master it as I must master my life.

Without prayer, my rosary is useless. Without praying my rosary, I am useless. I must pray my rosary true. I must pray earnestly to defeat my enemy who is trying to kill me. I must expel him even as he tempts me. I will…

My rosary and I know that what counts in war is not the words from our mouth, the pain in our knees, nor the length of our prayer. We know that it is the prayer from the heart that counts. We will pray…

My rosary is a warrior, even as I, because it is an extension of myself. Thus, I will learn it as a brother. I will learn its weaknesses, its strength, its parts, its accessories, its beads, and its medals. I will keep my rosary clean and ready. We will become part of each other. We will…

Before God, I swear this creed. My rosary and I are defenders of my soul. We are the masters of our enemy. And Christ is the Savior of my life.

So be it, until victory is Christ’s and there is no enemy, but peace! Amen.

Soldier’s Creed

I am a soldier of GOD. 
I am a warrior and a member of TEAM JESUS. 
I serve the “People of GOD” and live the Christian virtues and values. 
I shall always place the mission first. 
I shall never quit. 
Surrender is not an option. 
I shall never leave a fallen Catholic comrade. 
I am disciplined; 
I am physically, mentally, morally and spiritually tough as nails. 
I am trained and proficient in my spiritual warrior tasks and skills. 
I always maintain my spiritual weapons, my equipment and myself. 
I am an expert and I am a professional in the sure knowledge and practice of my Catholic faith. 
I stand ready to deploy, engage and destroy the enemies of GOD and of souls in close and immortal combat. 
I am a guardian of the glorious freedom of the children of GOD and the Christian way of life. 
I am a soldier of GOD, 
I am part of TEAM JESUS.
