Today is the day in which we remember those unsuspecting souls that perished from the sneak attack on Pearl Harbor in Hawaii on December 7, 1941. Tora! Tora! Tora! means "tiger, tiger, tiger" in Japanese code speak. They snuck up on us as a tiger and as most were still sleeping!This plunged us into World War II, thus changing us forever. We will remember those 1100+ souls which are still entrapped in the USS Arizona.
On another note, this is the day of St. Ambrose. St. Athanasius was not the only Bishop who opposed the Arian heresy in the 4th century. He, along with St. Ambrose and St. Nicholas(you've heard of him), opposed this heresy. There were 318 bishops who did. These were 3 of them. I didn't know that there were that many bishops around during those times. I do know that the pope of the time, who pretty much condemned St. Athanasius, is the first pope to NOT be made a saint in the Church. DON'T MESS WITH GOD OR HIS CHURCH!
Lord, teach us to remember the coming of YOU the first time, and be forever grateful for it.
