Description:

"Blessed is the nation whose God is the LORD, the people ch osen as his very own." ~ Psalm 33:12

These words were exce rpted from a speech General Douglas MacArthur delivered at West Point on Ma y 12, 1962. Every cadet entering the military academy receives a copy of t he General's address in its entirety.

Duty. Honor. Country. Those th ree hallowed words reverently dictate what you ought to be, what you can b e, what you will be. They are your rallying points, to build courage when courage seems to fail, to regain faith when there seems to be litt le cause for faith, to create hope when hope becomes forlorn.....
They mold you for future roles as the custodians of the nation's defense. They t each you to be proud and unbending in honest failure, but humble and gentl e in success; not to substitute words for actions, not to seek the path o f comfort, but to face the stress and spur of difficulty and challenge.... They teach you to be modest so that you will remember...

"Then Jesus said to Thomas...."Stop your doubting and believ e." ~ John 20:27

Once, twins were conceived in a womb. Together they explored it saying, "How great is our mother's love that she shares with us her very life." Weeks passed; the twins began to change.

Th e first said to the second, "This means our life in the womb is coming to an end."
The second replied, "I don't want it to end. I want to stay he re forever."
The first said, "But maybe there is life after birt h."
The second replied, "How can there be? We'll shed our mother's cord , and how is life possible without it?"
The twins fell into doubt. "If life in the womb ends in death," they said, "What's the purpose?"
And so the last days in the womb were filled with confusion and fear. Finally, the moment of birth came. When the twins opened their eyes, they cried fo r joy. For what they saw exceeded their wildest dreams. ~ Mark Link S.J.

"For the sake of my brothers, I say, "May peace be within you."" ~ Psalm 122:8

Sometimes TV reporters ask insensitive ques tions of people who have just suffered a tragedy. For example, John Cogan , a cancer victim, was asked how he felt about dying.

He stunned th e reporter saying, "There's a joy deep down inside me that I can't express . I feel perfectly free.... I want to reach out and embrace the whole unive rse."

Tragedy had set before John Cogan the choice of life and death in the ultimate sense of the word. He chose life - eternal life. ~ Mark Li nk S.J.

How can we accept unfortunate circumstances of our life? How can we help brother knights and their families when they face the imminent reality of death and help them see eternal life? How will you know when yo u've achieved true peace in your heart?

"I am the resurrection an d the life; whoever believes in me, even if he dies, will live, and eve ryone who lives and believes in me will never die...

"And the angel of the LORD appeared unto Gideon, and said u nto him, "The LORD is with thee, thou mighty man of valor."" ~ Judges 6:12

The Midianites had been preying on the Israelites and their la nd. Gideon had lost all of his brothers in battle, but God put a thought i n his heart to save his people. He sent messengers throughout the land to f orm a band of fighting men. At first, an army of 32,000 men was formed. B ut many were not sure the LORD would lead them to victory. So God told Gide on to send home all those who were afraid to fight. Gideon saw that a small army of brave men would be better than a multitude of cowards, so he told anyone that was afraid to fight to go home. He was down to 10,000 men. Bu t God said that he needed only the best and bravest men, so he told Gideon to send his men to the water and He would show him which men to keep. At t he river, almost every man laid down his weapon and quenched their thirst. God told Gideon to send these men home. But a few me...

"Do not be deceived; God is not mocked, for whatever a man sows, that he will also reap. For the who sows to his own flesh will from the flesh reap corruption; but he who sows to the Spirit will from the Sp irit reap eternal life." ~ Galatians 6:7-8

In this verse, we ha ve encapsulated the entire Catholic teaching concerning the idea of "merit. " Many people think that when the Church speaks of "merit" she means "extra good deed you do to make up for Jesus' inadequate efforts at atonement for sin." But this completely misunderstands the Church's teaching. In reality , everything that we do that contributes to our salvation is the result of the grace of Christ, not a supplement to or a cause of grace. Sowing to t he Spirit (seeking God consistently in prayer, or doing works of mercy, o r faithfully approaching the sacraments), is not a thing we do to put God in our debt. We do this because God is at work in us already and inspiring us to obey Him. When we do obey Him we mysteriously...

"Arrogance causes nothing but trouble. It is wiser to ask fo r advice." ~ Proverbs 13:10

It's hard to imagine a Christmas pro gram without Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer being on the music menu. The story behind the hit goes back 50 years. After his previous year 's blockbuster hit, Here Comes Santa Claus", Gene Autry was lookin g for a follow-up for the current year. One day the mail brought a recordin g of Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer. It was the work of a young song writer named Johnny Marks. Autry listened to it, but he was not keen on it .

His wife, however, counseled otherwise. She felt kids would go f or it. They did! Today, more than 400 artists have recorded it, and over 100 million copies of the song have been sold. ~ Mark Link, S.J.
