15 Points Preparedness Worksheet: New & Improved!

Please see our revised prepping worksheet, which is below, but also always on the Home page. We’ve got 15 points that are elaborated on, with space to make your own notes (though you will probably want to use a separate sheet of paper)…and your own personalized preparedness plan…you won’t find this anywhere else! It is Nomen Christi Apostolate’s unique Catholic and holistic approach, encompassing the spiritual, mental, physical and communal aspects of preparedness and a more authentic, self-reliant life. It’s pretty thorough, based on many years of research and experience, and will definitely make you think. We make it very easy to get started, if you don’t know where to start or find the whole idea daunting.

We’ve also got our new “Recommended Resources” page to help you further (which we are continuing to work on). So, print out the 5 pages, take this first step and GET STARTED TODAY! (And share with your friends and family, makes a great Christmas gift:)

BTW, my husband and I are filling this revised version out ourselves, so let’s all do it together!

15 Points Preparedness Worksheet

Excerpt:

#6: Incorporate general preparedness into your life.  Am I willing to adopt a lifestyle of preparedness (this includes being very organized)?  What are some dangerous scenarios that could happen in my area?  Can I start a garden or raise animals?  Is there a local fresh water source?  Have I addressed my power needs?  Could I function without any electricity?  Do I have a “go bag”?  Are my important documents all together (be able to prove all your assets with hard copies)?  Am I on good terms with my neighbors?  What about communication and information options in a crisis?  Am I always seeking to learn more?

Note: For those who are local to the New York area, I am available to give a talk based on this program. Please contact us above. This message needs to get out!

"The Remedy on Beads"

I couldn’t agree more with TAN Books words…

“Throughout history, when the Church has faced great trials, dark spiritual battles, or periods of widespread confusion, Heaven’s remedy has remained unchanging: Pray the Rosary every day.

While last month we stood beside Our Lady in her grief during the month of Our Lady of Sorrows, October invites us to contemplate the fullness of Christ's life, death, and resurrection through her holy eyes. The Holy Rosary is not merely a string of beads or a repetition of prayers; it is a school of contemplation, a spiritual shield, and a quiet path to profound peace.

What better way to enter into this holy month than by renewing your commitment to the Gospel through the hands of Mary?

To aid you and your family in contemplating the mysteries of Christ and strengthening your daily prayer life, TAN Books is offering up to 40% off our entire

Month of the Holy Rosary Collection

throughout October.”

70 Percent Of U.S. Farmers Say...

…That They Will Not Be Able To Purchase All The Fertilizer They Need In 2026

Excerpt:

“We might want to listen to what the farmers are telling us, because if they don’t grow our food we do not eat. Coming into this year, we were already facing the worst farming crisis in America in at least 50 years. Farmers all over the nation are drowning in debt, and farm bankruptcies have been soaring. In all my years, I have never seen America’s farmers so angry, and now the crisis in the Strait of Hormuz has made things much worse. Spring planting season is here and there is a global scramble for whatever supplies of nitrogen fertilizer that happen to be available. As a result, prices have skyrocketed and farmers all over the planet are facing some incredibly tough choices.

That is even true here in the United States.

According to a brand new survey that was just conducted by the American Farm Bureau Federation, 70 percent of U.S. farmers say that they will not be able to purchase all of the fertilizer that they need in 2026 because it has become so expensive.”
