"For freedom, Christ set us free: so stand firm and do not submit again to the yoke of slavery." ~ Galatians 5:1

On this da te in 1961, President John F. Kennedy, himself a Knight of the Fourth Deg ree, delivered this inaugural address:

In the long history of th e world, only a few generations have been granted the role of defending fr eedom in its hour of maximum danger. I do not shrink from this responsibili ty - I welcome it.... The energy, the faith, the devotion which we bring to this endeavor will light our country and all who serve it - and the glow from that fire can truly light the world....

Most Am ericans are familiar with his famous phrase: "And so, my fellow Americans: ask not what your country can do for you - ask what can you do for your co untry." But the long forgotten conclusion of his address was this:

< i>My fellow citizens of the world: ask not what America will do for you, b ut what together we can do for the freedom of man.&n...

"When, LORD, did we ever see you... a stranger and welcome you in our homes, or naked and clothe you? ... The King will reply, "I t ell you, whenever you did this for one of the least important of these.... you did it for me." ~ Matthew 25:37, 40

In 1952, Mother Teres a saw an abandoned woman in the street, literally, being eaten by bugs. S he carried the unfortunate victim to a hospital, but it wouldn't accept he r.

Next, Mother Teresa carried the woman to city officials, demand ing she be helped. When this didn't work, she demanded a shelter where she could care for the woman and other victims like her. Glad to be rid of the problem, they led her to an abandoned shelter, once used by Hindu pilgri ms. Thus began Mother Teresa's first home for the destitute and the dying. ~ Mark Link, S.J.

How are we as Knights becoming more involved in h elping people who cannot help themselves?

Service is nothing but love in work clothes. ~ E. C. McKenzie

"Be self-controlled and alert. Your enemy the devil prowls a round like a roaring lion looking for someone to devour." ~ 1 Peter 5:8

On this date in 1973, the Supreme Court ruled on the matter of Roe v. Wade. But the madness began years earlier with the mother of the sexual revolution and Planned Parenthood, Margaret Sanger. In an effort t o sterilize the Black population, she wrote: "(we propose to), hire three or four colored ministers....with engaging personalities. The most success ful educational approach to the Negro is through religious appeal... We do not want word to go out that we want to exterminate the Negro population... (Margaret Sanger, letter to Clarence Gamble, October 1939)." She advocat ed limiting the immigration of "Slavs, Hebrews, and Latins (Margaret Sang er, "Racial Quotas in Immigration", Birth Control Review, August 1920)," because of their lower intelligence. She championed the sterilizat ion of those who are ill-suited to propagate the race, ...

"Do your best to preserve the unity which the Spirit gives." ~ Ephesians 3:3-5

In early 1984, the Olympic flame was flown f rom its home in Olympia, Greece, to New York City. Runners then carried i t to Los Angeles.

As it went from city to city, something beautiful began to happen. Towns greeted the runners ringing church bells and blowin g fire sirens. Tears flowed down people's cheeks and spontaneous singing br oke out.

One elderly lady spoke fro many when she said to a runner, "Thank you, son, for making me feel like this again."

When the to rch reached the Coliseum, 93,000 people stood and cheered wildly. It clim axed and experience of unity that few Americans will ever forget. ~ Mark Li nk, S.J.

"When you have done all you have been told to do, say, 'We are ordinary servants; we have only done our duty." ~ Luke 17: 9-10
Everett Alvarez Jr. made John Wayne cry when they met at a White Hous e dinner. Alvarez was the first American pilot shot down over North Vietnam . For many Americans he symbolized the suffering of all who served i n Vietnam. Alvarez spent 8 years as a POW. He was fed dead birds, rice cra wling with roaches, and sewer-water soup to make him sick and weak. In a s mall yard outside his cell, he scratched the outline of a cross in the pai nted stucco. Later he would add the words, "LORD, I am not worthy, but o nly say the word and my soul shall be healed." To stay focused on survival , Alvarez re-enacted daily all that he could recall of the Mass as an altar boy. When he was put with other POWs, Alvarez found strength in teamwork. The very few Americans who chose not to be part of the group were more int erested in themselves and ultimately collaborated wit...

"To be controlled by the Spirit results in life and peace." ~ Romans 8:6

The vast crowd in Washington broke into a thunderou s applause when Lincoln arrived for his second inaugural. It stunned him, because he'd gotten so used to boos. No president in history had been hated so bitterly as he had been, because of the war and his stand on slavery.& nbsp;

The crowd grew deathly silent when he began his address. It w as an amazing speech, ending with these words:

"With malice toward none; with charity for all; with firmness in the right, as God gi ves us to see the right, let us strive on to finish the work we are in; t o bind up the nation's woulds; to care for him who shall have borne the ba ttle, and for his widow and his orphan - to do all which may achieve and c herish a just and lasting peace among ourselves and with all nations." ~ Ma rk Link, S.J.

Lincoln's sentiments have withstood the test of time. How has our assembly served our community and nation...
