Sometimes
it is helpful to have a rallying cry when beginning a major action, or when
trying to build momentum for a social movement (think of Gideon and his army,
for instance, or Cato the Elder). St
Athanasius of Brest-Litovsk, a martyr for the Faith, may have given the South
just such a thing in his cry of ‘Anathema to the Union!’
(see entry for Sept. 5, ‘Holy Hieromartyr Athanasius of Brest-Litovsk (1649)’, http://www.abbamoses.com/months/september.html)
Let
us use it well, and often!
