"Our trust in God is worth more than mere numbers. Fear not, the Lord Jesus Christ is with us! As he said: "If your faith is only the size of a mustard seed it is still enough to move mountains." Through the steadiness of our faith, the flame of the Holy Spirit, and in the name of the Blessed Trinity, we shall drive away this mountain, composed not of stones and earth but a filth of heresy and like corruption. Let us now purge ourselves of sin through confession and penitence, and receive the body and blood of our Lord Jesus Christ, and prepare our souls. Because the strength of God will enable us, a small but faithful band, to overcome the multitude of the faithless."
