"You also must be ready, because the Son of Man will come a t an hour when you do not expect Him." ~ Luke 12:40

Imagine ther e is a bank that credits your account each morning with $86,400. It carrie s over no lance from day to day. Every evening deletes whatever part of the balance you failed to use during the day. What would you do? Draw out ever y cent, or course!

Each of us has such a bank - it's TIME. Every mo rning it credits us with 86,400 seconds. Every night it writes off, as lo st, whatever we have failed to invest to good purpose. It carries over no balance. It allows no overdraft. Each day it opens a new account for us. Ea ch night it burns the remains of the day. If we fail to use the day's depos its, the loss is ours. There is no going back. There is no drawing against the "tomorrow". ~ Author unknown

We must live in the present on tod ay's deposits. Invest it to gain the utmost in CHARITY, UNITY, FRATERNITY and PATRIOTISM! The clock is running......

"So Joseph also went up from the town of Nazareth in Galilee to Judea, to Bethlehem the town of David, because he belonged to the hou se and line of David. He went there to register with Mary, who was pledged to be married to him and was expecting a child. While they were there, th e time came for the baby to be born, and she gave birth to her firstborn, a son. She wrapped him in cloths and placed him in a manger, because ther e was no room for them in the inn." ~ Luke 2:4-7

I'll never forg et that first Christmas Eve in captivity. It was terribly cold, and though I knew of one other American nearby, I was still alone. My body ached, a nd my woulds were only beginning to heal. In my ice-cold misery, I heard a Christmas carol. It was an incredible surprise. For a moment I thought my mind was playing treacherous tricks - "Silent Night, Holy Night." The fide lity was awful. but it was the first song I had heard since bailing out mor e than a month ago. Scratches and all, that carol was ...

"But the angel said to them, "Do not be afraid, I bring yo u good news of great joy that will be for all the people. Today in the town of David a Savior has been born to you; he is Christ the LORD." ~ Luk e 2:10-11

Strange is our situation here on earth, each of us comes for a short visit, not knowing why, yet sometimes seeming to divine a pur pose. From the standpoint of daily life, however, there is one thing we k now:

That Man is here for the sake of other Men.
Above all for th ose upon whose smile and well-being our own happiness depends, and also fo r the countless unknown souls with whose fate we are connected by a bond of sympathy.
Many times a day I realize how much my own outer and inner li fe is built upon the labors of my fellow men, both living and dead, and h ow earnestly I must exert myself in order to give in return as much as I ha ve received. ~ Albert Einstein

"Better a poor man whose walk is blameless than a rich man w hose ways are perverse." ~ Proverbs 28;6

A man is called to man hood defined by the life of Jesus Christ. Exciting but shallow pleasures, the kind that do not require us to worry a out some deep call to manhood, may disguise themselves as true happiness. Power, money, status, connect ions, achievement, success, possessions, food, sex, recreation: lots of things, many of them good in their place, get defined as the source of happiness. But none of these characterized the life of Christ. While these false pleasures make us feel good, they do not produce a contentment that survives loss, a joy that deepens through suffering, a humble confidence that persists through failure and setback. By going after these sources of pleasure, we reduce ourselves to puppets, supported by strings that, if cut, leave us in a heap on the ground.

No man can be happy without living out the call to make visible that which is hard to see a...

"Encourage the timid, help the weak, be patient with every one." ~ 1 Thessalonians 5:14

Dan Begley settled into his plane s eat in Seattle, hoping to get a lot of work done before arriving in Dallas .

Just then a mother and three kids got on. The mother and a four-ye ar old sat behind him; the two older kids, next to him. Once airborne, t hey began turning around every ten minutes to ask their mother, "Where are we now?" Dan's irritation rose to the "danger" level. Suddenly an "inner v oice" told him, "Be patient! Love these kids. They need it."

He put away his work, took the in-flight magazine, turned to the flight map, a nd showed the kids the route to Dallas. He divided the route into 15 - minu te lengths so that they could see exactly where they were at any moment. Th en he explained a lot of things about planes to them.

As the plane touched down in Dallas, Dan asked if their father would be waiting. A short silence ensued. Then one of the kids said softl...

"His master said, "Well done, good and faithful servant! Y ou have been faithful with a few things; I will put you in charge of many things. Come and share your master's happiness!" ~ Matthew 25:23-24

These words are for many ordinary people whom the world may pass by, u n-recognizing. Not to the world-famed, the proud, the wealthy, are these words spoken, but to the quiet followers who bravely serve God unobtrusiv ely yet faithfully, who bear their crosses bravely and put a smiling face to the world. "Enter into the joy of your LORD." Pass into that fuller spir itual life, which is a life of joy and peace. ~ Fr. Pat Umberger

We pray that we may not desire for the world's applause. We pray that we may not seek rewards for doing what we believe is right.

The Son of Man did not come to be served, but to serve, and to give His life as a ransom for many. Have we Knights maximized service to our parish and our communit y this past year?
