he Son of God did not bring salvation and redemption to our fallen world through His signs, wonders, or words, but rather, by willingly experiencing an incomprehensibly violent death in the most virile manner, overcoming it at His Resurrection. Jesus gave up His life that the Body of Christ, the Church, would live as the chosen vessel of the salvation He won until He returns. His Church was conceived at the Cross as the precious Blood and Water gushed forth from His most Sacred Heart, which also became the supernatural source of its sacraments.

This means that God’s perfect, providential plan of salvation was not accomplished through passivity or piety but in the most masculine manner by His Son who took on flesh in order to sacrifice it, even pouring out the final drops of His Blood in the most humiliating, painful way. And we don’t accept His salvation accomplished on Calvary by mere mental assent, acknowledging that such an event actually occurred, but through active participation in this once for all sacrifice— did the courageous centurion who leapt into action to accomplish the will of God, regardless of the costs, and thereafter lived fully and manfully for Christ as the original warrior-monk.

When the Kingdom came into its earthly existence at the Cross, it was embryonic and extremely vulnerable to the powers of the earth and its prince which were at eternal enmity with it. This is why God, according to His perfect plan and providence, targeted the most indominable, indispensable men of the vaunted Roman military to tend, defend, and extend the Kingdom of God, fulfilling the Edenic duties which Adam abdicated.
<...>
In our time, does God want courageous, countercultural men of faith and action to reclaim the mantle of such a centurion office to tend, defend, and extend the Kingdom of God, which is led, in large part, by too many weak and worldly men, is virtually devoid of defenders, and has lost much land and many souls to the evil Spirit of the Age?
