"And you, child, will be called prophet of the Most High, for you will go before the LORD to prepare his ways." ~ Luke 1:7 6

Joel Weldon, and expert on human potential, likes to tell about the Chinese bamboo tree. This unusual plant takes five years to emerge from the soil. All during these five years, however, it has to be watered and fertilized. Once the plant emerges, it skyrockets to a height of 90 feet in six short weeks. The plant's rapid growth is made possible by the elabor ate root system that developed during the five years of germination.

John the Baptist, like Jesus, spent 30 years preparing for his ministry. It was the most important time of his life. For during this time he was pu tting down the elaborate spiritual root system that made possible his fruit ful ministry in later life. ~ Author unknown

What kind of spiritual roots are we as Knights growing? Does our Council put an emphasis on the sp iritual growth of each Knight?

"What Moses gave you was not the bread from heaven; it is m y Father who gives you the real bread... I am the living bread that came do wn from heave. If anyone eats this bread, he will live forever." ~ Joh n 6:32, 51

Each year, Catholics celebrate the feast of the Body of Christ. Sometimes it includes an outdoor procession. Here is how an Africa n bishop described his experience during a rainstorm in Nigeria in 1986:

"The people danced and sang in the rain. It was the first time I recal l the Blessed Sacrament being carried... to the sound of... cheering and cl apping. Everyone was drenched. No one thought of seeking shelter or running away. Judges, lawyers, doctors, mothers, children stood their ground a s if nothing was happening except the Eucharist. I have not seen anything l ike it here or anywhere else." ~ America magazine

Do we somet imes forget that the consecrated bread is truly the Body of Christ?

"(Jesus said of his disciples' failure to stay awake and pra y,) 'The spirit is willing, but the flesh is weak." ~ Mark 14:38
< br>There's an old story about a farmer who was perennially plagued by a lar ge rock located in the center of his field. Apart from the inconvenience of plowing around it each year, he sometimes forgot it and damaged equipment on it. He swore that he would take time off some day and dig it out once a nd for all. But he kept putting it off year after year. One day he decided to act. To his surprise, the rock was almost totally on the surface and qu ite easily removed.

He thought to himself, "Why did it take me so long to get around to digging it up? How much grief I could have save d myself had I removed it right away!" ~ William Bennett

What rocks has our Council procrastinated in removing this year?

"The plans of the diligent lead to profit as surely as haste leads to poverty." ~ Proverbs 21:5

St. Cyril, later recognized as a great teacher of the Church, began his career as Archbishop of Alexa ndria with impulsive, often violent, actions. He pillaged and closed the churches of Novatian heretics, participated in the deposing of St. John Ch rysostom and confiscated Jewish property in retaliation for their attacks o n Christians. His style would later hurt him as he championed the cause of orthodoxy against the heresy of Nestorius, who declared that Mary could no t be the mother of the one Person who is truly God and truly human. Eventua lly, Cyril learned to practice moderation and overcome Nestorius and his t eachings. He was later declared a doctor of the church.

The lives of the saints are valuable not only for the virtue they reveal but also for t he less than admirable qualities they overcome. Holiness is a gift from God to be used in our daily lives. We try to respond ...

"For thou, O LORD, art good and forgiving, abounding in s teadfast love to all who call on thee." ~ Psalm 86:5

When it all comes down to it, this is the most astonishing fact about God: that he fo rgives and loves us. If that seems like a commonplace, then we haven't rea lly encountered God. As Peter Kreeft said long ago, that the "god" of feel -good religion should love us is a commonplace. What else should such a sim pering, nice, harmless fellow do His only creed is "Niceness is Nice" so of course he "loves" us. It's his duty. But that the real God loves us... t hat the power who hurled Andromeda and made the tiger and shatters the ceda rs with lightning... who was steeped in Eternity when the dinosaurs came an d went like a flash in the pan. That this God loves, us, forgives us, an d others his tender head about us to the degree that he is willing to be cr ucified for us; that is a thunderbolt. Rejoice in the glory and mercy of t hat Thunderbolt. ~ Dr. Scott Hahn and Jeff Cavins

"(The LORD) said to me, 'My grace is sufficient for you, f or power is made perfect in weakness.' I will rather boast most gladly of m y weaknesses, in order that the power of Christ may dwell with me." ~ 2 Corinthians 12:9

Saints Peter and Paul were the two greatest apost les, and the two most important leaders of the early Church. Peter was a f isherman, and followed Jesus throughout His public ministry. Paul persecut ed the early Church before his conversion. Peter was largely uneducated; P aul's careful education helped him become one of the greatest religious thi nkers of all history.

Peter was directly appointed by Christ in the presence of the other apostles (Matthew 16:18-19); Paul received his autho rity from Christ during a personal conversion and spiritual experience (Act s 22:6-10, 14-16). Both men considered themselves to be profoundly unworth y (Luke 5:8; 1 Corinthians 15:9), yet each was capable of fulfilling his mission - only through Christ's grace (Luke 22:31...
