Some people think Halloween's Satan's birthday, but it's not, it's the Vigil of All Saints wherein children run around mocking the devils which the Saints vanquish. That in mind, we set up a candy depot outside of Mission #1 and hundreds of kids turned up, first time ever.
Beautiful, they got lots of candy and blessed Bibles. "Here," I offered, "would you like me to bless those Bibles?" Downward glance, "Si." Right on, and in nomine there we were. What a sweet event, next year we'll set up a couple of grills and it'll be even better.
Now, bear in mind, dear readers, that Witches, Crowleyites and assorted occultist malfeasants have claimed the Vigil of All Saints as their own. Seriously, they go around hexing candy and invoking demons. We took a stand, however small, against that today.
We are, punters, engaged in a war, a spiritual war of truth v. lies, light v. dark, God v. Satan. Choose your side wisely.

Yay, someone that actually understands the 'spirit' behind All Hallow's Eve. So tired of all the supposed Christians who don't know about the day and what it means.
ReplyDeleteGreat job, LSP, and keep the faith going. Maybe next year you can have you and your peeps dressed up as Templars or Hospitalers or Lazarites?
Solid work and well done.
ReplyDeleteSt. Joan of Arc has a huge All Saints party with pizza, bonfire, and the kids dressed as their preferred saint. Most the other kids are at their churches or a thing we do called "Trunk or Treat" the businesses put on where they fill the parking lots with candy filled car and truck. The ghoulish was kept to a minimum.
ReplyDeleteIf the grill is good enough, you'll lure them away from the Cowboy Church!
