Men will be boys.

I am off to Indiana early in the morning.  I will try to get back to blogging when I can catch my breath.  The encampment and then getting ready to go have kept me occupied.  I will also have the video of my encampment talk back online in the morning.  (Video Restored.) Meanwhile, enjoy the encampment Tug of War:

I based the following talk, given to the boys on Saturday at the encampment, on an article St. Maximilian Kolbe wrote in November of 1924. The title of his article, at least in the Italian translation is “Our Tactics.” I don’t have a Polish copy so I cannot be sure if it is accurately translated into Italian. I only mention this, because if one takes into account the military distinction between strategy and tactics, which I explain in the talk, what St. Maximilian is speaking of seems more like strategy than tactics. A minor point. In any case, here is my translation of his article.

Update: Missing Video Video Restored

I won’t try to explain the technical difficulties, but the video was inadvertently deleted from our account on gloria.tv and is currently inaccessible from our computers. I will get it back up just as soon as I can.
