"Then the angel said to her, 'Do not be afraid, Mary, fr you have found favor with God. Behold, you will conceive in your womb and bear a son, and you shall name him Jesus.'" ~ Luke 1:30-31

The Solemnity of the Annunciation marks the moment when God Himself began redee ming the unborn child - and all of us who once were unborn children - by be coming one Himself. Never can the unborn be considered too small to possess rights, for God Himself was that small.

The Annunciation te aches us the fruitfulness of self-giving. When Mary said "Yes" to "Life", she knew the road ahead would be difficult, yet she embraced the vocation of motherhood. This is precisely the opposite behavior that avoids responsi bility, and culminates in abortion. What happened at the Annunciation over comes the fear and despair that lead to violence. Marry's life gives courag e to all mothers who are afraid of the suffering that might lay ahead and a ssures them that they are not alone.

"Those who trust in the LORD for help will find their streng th renewed. They will rise on wings like eagles." ~ Isaiah 40:31

Nelda Bonner was dying of cancer. In her final months, sleep became diffi cult. So she would write in a journal. Her five children found it after her death. It contained over 40 handwritten pages of memories. Here are some e xcerpts:

"In a strange way, I have been happier this last year than I have ever been. I have a peace and calmness that I have never had before . I have discovered what my real relationship with God is... Your daddy and I are closer than we have ever been. He has been my rock. I have learned t o appreciate more than ever small things: a few hours of felling good... th e lovely faces of my grandchildren. I glory in the beauty around me - I tru ly look at the world through the eyes of love." ~ Mark Link, S.J.

N eed we wait until we are on our deathbed before we appreciate the truly imp ortant things in our lives?

"Whoever wants to be first must place himself last of all an d he the servant of all." ~ Mark 9:35

Twice a year geese migrate in a V formation, as a flock. Philip Yancey explains: "That's the secret of their strength... cooperating as a flock, geese can increase their flig ht distance by 71 percent... The lead goose cuts a swath through the air re sistance, which creates a helping uplift for the two birds behind him. In turn, their beating makes it easier on the birds behind them... Each bird takes his turn as the leader. The tired birds fan out to the edges of the V for a breather, and the rested ones surge forward to the point of the V t o drive the flock onward." ~ Campus Life

Are you r eady to assume the point in the V formation of our Council? Is our Council ready to assume the lead in the V formation of our parish? The Catholic Chu rch?

O God, help us to be masters of ourselves that we may be se rvants of others." ~ Sir Alec Paterson

President Harry S. Truman once said: "The greatest epitaph is the count ry is right here in Arizona. It's in tombstone, Arizona, and the epitaph says, "Here lies Jack Williams. He done his damndest." I think that is the greatest epitaph a man could have. Whenever a man does the best he can, t hen that is all he can do; and that is what your President has been trying to do for the last three years for this country." ~ Mark Link, S.J.
What motivates Knights to do the best they can for God and country?
Let us be up and doing,
With a heart for any fate;< /i>
Still achieving, still pursuing,
Learn to labor and t o wait.

"Endure hardship with us like a good soldier of Jesus Christ '" ~ 2 Timothy 2:3

Soldiers are identified by their uniforms. Sp ies and undercover agents disguise themselves, hoping to slip in without b eing noticed. The LORD doesn't need undercover Christians. He needs those w ho wear His uniform and proudly identify themselves with Him. Do you act as a "secret believer" - one who unveils your Christianity only when it is no n-threatening? In hostile situations, do you cover up your true identity? This kind of clandestine discipleship makes it easy to deny the LORD in dif ficult times. When the apostle Peter tried to secretly follow the LORD at a distance, on three occasions he denied that he knew Jesus. To come out of your foxhole, you must first decide to be identified with Jesus Christ as your LORD and Savior. No more secrecy, no more undercover discipleship. S traightforwardly proclaiming your allegiance to the LORD is practical evide nce of your faith. ~ Carman, adapted from R...

"All of us... are one body, for we all share the same loaf. " ~ 1 Corinthians 10:17

Astronauts Aldrin and Armstrong had just landed on the moon. While Armstrong prepared for his moonwalk, Aldrin unp acked bread and wine. Aldrin wrote: "I poured the wine into the chalice... In the one-sixth gravity of the moon the wine curled slowly and gracefully up the side of the cup. It was interesting to think that the very first liq uid ever poured on the moon and the very first food eaten there were commun ion elements. I sensed especially strong mu unity with our church back home , and the Church everywhere." ~ Guideposts - Treasury of Hope
What is one thing the Knights might do to build a stronger sense of unity in our parish? In our local community?

"In Jesus Christ, true G od and true man.... rests our hope for real humanity. Not by ourselves, bu t insofar as we are members of the Body of Christ." ~ Karl Barth
