"Call to me, and I will answer you; I will tell to you thi ngs great beyond reach of your knowledge." ~ Jeremiah 33:3

One day, Jerry was approached by his older brother, Jim, to join the Kn ights of Columbus. Jerry was just twenty-two years old at the time and crui sing along in life, so his response was "Why?"

His brother replied , "For the greater honor and glory of God."

That e xchange between brothers may have seemed insignificant at first. After all , many men are invited into the fraternity, but soon after they join, the y lose their way again. But in other instances, it is a wake-up call for a man, because he finds spiritual nourishment and Catholic brotherhood. Som etimes, this leads to untold influences on families, parishes and communi ties. This is what happened to Jerry. His thirty-eight years with the Knigh ts were capped by his election as State Deputy of Colorado. With his admini stration's theme of "For the greater honor and glory...

"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.

What is the point of this parable?

"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...
