Memento Mori — Remember You Must Die

Memento Mori — Remember You Must DieMemento Mori Remember You Must Die Two words the Church has pressed on her saints for two thousand years: memento mori. Remember you will die. The skull beneath this cross was once a man with plans, with time he thought he had, with a list of things he'd get to later. The hourglass beside it is still running. But look what stands over them both: the Cross, blazing. This back print sets the oldest meditation in Christendom against its only answer death

It's in not yielding

At Confirmation he was sealed and sent — a soldier of Christ — whether or not he has lived like one since

This back-print stamps that creed onto an American war seal — a Spartan shield marked with the lambda and dressed in the stars and stripes

Pro Deo et Patria sets the order

a tattered thirteen-star flag stretched across the field

crowned with twelve stars

led the armies of God against the dragon

there was a sign

you march under His name

This back-print honors that patronage: Our Lady standing on the crescent moon

— built for men who fear God and bow to no earthly crown

You'll feel the difference the first time you put it on
