“When Jesus heard that John had been arrested, he withdrew to Galilee. He left Nazareth and went to live in Capernaum by the sea, in the region of Zebulun and Naphtali, that what had been said through Isaiah the prophet might be fulfilled:
Land of Zebulun and land of Naphtali, the way to the sea, beyond the Jordan,
Galilee of the Gentiles, the people who sit in darkness have seen a great light, on those dwelling in a land overshadowed by death light has arisen. From that time on, Jesus began to preach and say, “Repent, for the Kingdom of heaven is at hand.” He went around all of Galilee, teaching in their synagogues, proclaiming the Gospel of the Kingdom, and curing every disease and illness among the people. His fame spread to all of Syria, and they brought to him all who were sick with various diseases and racked with pain, those who were possessed, lunatics, and paralytics, and he cured them. And great crowds from Galilee, the Decapolis, Jerusalem, and Judea, and from beyond the Jordan followed him.” -Matthew 4:12-17, 23-25

Once again, the world seems to sit in darkness, overshadowed by death, but the light is still here with us. It is in that light where the battle rages.

About the Cover, The Mystic Next Door, and The Triumph of the Cross:

“…As I flew into that beautiful sunset, I could see how the horizon represented the world as I now see it. We dwell in that tiny strip of orange, still yet illuminated by the light of Christ.
Above and below that thin line exists two very different worlds. The one below is a tortured pit, where fallen angels and the dammed are chained. The blessed kingdom of the Holy Trinity, full of angels and saints above, extends on forever.
In that faint sliver of light, a battle rages for our souls. The victor of that battle will determine in which world we will reside for all of eternity. The Miles Christi, the soldiers of Christ, are the ones who fight that battle through the power of God and the help of His angels.”

Saint John Neumann, pray for us.
