Julia Ward Howe was an American poet and a ctivist. She worked for the abolition of slavery, the vote for women, pri son reform, and world peace. She penned the stirring lyrics of "The Battle Hymn of the Republic" to provide more suitable words for the melody "John Brown's Body."

The hymn went on to become the marching song of the N orth, just as "Dixie" became the marching song of the South. ~ Mark Link, S.J.

What unique set of talents do we Knights possess and how might we better use them to greater service of God and nation?

"God se nt His singers upon earth
with songs of sadness and mirth,
That they might touch the hearts of men
and bring the m back to heaven again." ~ Henry Wordsworth Longfellow

"The Spirit.... will lead you into all the truth." ~ Joh n 16:13

In 1858, a girl named Bernadette reported apparitions of Ma ry at a hillside in Lourdes, France.
Sick people visited the site and w ere cured. Over, 1,300 cures are well documented.

In the 1930s, A lexis Carrel, a skeptical New York surgeon and Nobel Prize winner, went t o Lourdes to investigate the claims. While there, he witnessed a girl bein g cured. He stood in silence, totally stunned. That night, he went for a long walk. Ending up in a church, he prayed:

"I still doubt... Bene ath... intellectual pride a smothered dream persists... the dream of believ ing."

He returned to his hotel and recorded his observations. In The Voyage of Lourdes, he describes what then happened:

"A n ew coolness penetrated the open window. I felt the serenity of nature enter my soul with gentle calm. All intellectual doubts had vanished." ~ Mar k Link, S.J.

"Those who declare publicly that they belong to me, I will do the same for them before my Father in heaven." ~ Matthew 10:32
The preacher at F.W. de Klerk's inauguration made a disturbing point. He said that the South African president had the awesome responsibility of dis cerning God's will and acting on it.
This planted a seed in de Kl erk's mind that grew and grew. Slowly, it led him to pursue the dismantlin g of the dehumanizing apartheid system and granting citizenship to 35 milli on blacks. de Klerk said later that he knew that in pursuing this unpopular policy he would be rejected by his own people, but this did not deter him . ~ Mark Link, S.J.

In what areas can the Knights display the same political bravery?

'Silently and imperceptibly, as we wake or sl eep, we grow strong or weak, and at last some crisis show us what we have become." ~ Bishop Westcott
