"Jesus said, "What is humanly impossible is possible for Go d." ~ Luke 18:27

Robert E. Sherwood was a speechwriter for Presi dent Franklin Roosevelt. He also won the Pulitzer Prize in drama three time s. On on e occasion - mustering all the drama at his command - he said we m ust dedicate ourselves to two objectives: the achievement of world peace an d the affirmation of the right of every person to live as the image of God. He added, "To those who say that these unlimited objectives are unthinkab le, impossible, let us reply that it is the alternative to them which is unthinkable, impossible."

He concluded by calling upon America to d edicate itself to the achievement of these unlimited objectives as boldly a nd as confidently as our forefathers, "who proved that.... nothing underta ken by free men and free women is impossible." ~ Mark Link, S.J.

We Knights have remained true to our heritage of faith, fellowship and phila nthropy. What dream do you have for the Knights tha...

"My son, your sins are forgiven." ~ Mark 2:5

Har old Hughes described himself as "a drunk, a liar, and a cheat." He was so convinced he'd never change that he decided to end it all. At that moment , however, he remembered enough from the Bible to realize that to take one 's life was wrong. So he knelt down sobbing and explained to God why he was going to end it all. Suddenly, something happened that he never experienc ed before in his life. He wrote later:
"God was reaching down and touchi ng me. Like a stricken child lost in a storm, I suddenly stumbled into the warm hands of my Father. Joy filled me, so intense it seemed to burst my breast..." Ten years later, Harold Hughes was elected governor of Iowa. ~ Mark Link, S.J.

Have you ever turned down or avoided participation in a Knights activity? Would the Father's warm touch have helped you see it through?

"I have swept away your sins like a cloud,
C omeback to me; I am the one who saves you." ~ ...

"Happy is the person who remains faithful under trials." ~ < /i>James 1:12

It was the first year for canoe racing in the 1924 Oly mpics. Bill Havens was on the four-man team to represent the U.S. in Paris. But as that time for departure neared, it was clear that his wife would g ive birth to their first child while he was away. Bill hesitated. His wife insisted that he go. But the more Bill thought about it, the more he felt his priorities lay with his wife and their first child. An alternate member took Bill's place.

The team went to Paris and won the gold. Meanwhile, Bill's wife was late in giving birth to a boy, whom they would name Frank. Bill never mentioned his disappointment in missing out on the Olympics.

In 1952, Bill got a cable from Helsinki, where the Olymp ics were going on It read:

I'm bringing home
the gold medal you lost
while waiting for me to be born." ~ Fran k

"Do not those who plot evil go astray? But those who plan wh at is good find love and faithfulness." ~ Proverbs 14:22 NIV

In corporate America, it's sometimes difficult to climb the ladder of so-call ed "success" without sacrificing the ideals of living as a Catholic gentlem an. The long hours at the expense of your family, the political back-stabb ing among colleagues, the cutthroat competitive environment, and today's me-oriented, material culture all run contrary to Catholic teaching. ~ A S ir Knight

Ideally we, as Knights, never plot evil. But do we unwit tingly forget to do what is right and just in our everyday lives?

Goodness is the only investment that never fails. ~ Henry David Thorea u

"God is love... Perfect love drives out all fear." ~ 1 J ohn 4:16, 18

In 1988 a terrible earthquake in Armenia killed 30,00 0 people. Minutes after it hit, a father ran to his son's school building and found it completely flattened.

Remembering that his son's classr oom was in the back right corner of the building, he went there and began digging furiously. They told him it was hopeless, but he kept digging. In the 38th hour of digging, he heard his son's voice calling, "Dad!"

Incredibly a tiny wedge shape had formed, leaving just enough space for h is son and thirteen other boys to survive. The son said to his dad, "I tol d the others not to worry. I knew you'd come for me and then they would be saved too!"

That beautiful story is a kind of parable of how we shou ld trust our heavenly Father whose love for us exceeds all imagining. ~ Mar k Link, S.J.

"Your light must shine before people...so that they will pra ise your Father." ~ Matthew 5:16

Some villages in India are tota lly without electricity. People use tiny oil lamps, much like those used i n Jesus' time, to light their homes.

The temple in one of these rur al villages has a large frame hanging from its ceiling. Cut into the frame are a hundred slots into which tiny oil lamps can be placed. When the peopl e go there after dark, they carry their oil lamps from their homes to guid e them through the darkness. Upon arriving in the temple, they place their lamp in one of the slots. By the time the last villager arrives, the dark ness has been dispelled and in its place is a glorious sea of light. ~ Mark Link, S.J.

What keeps you from becoming the spark of light that we Knights have pledged to create to dispel the darkness in our world?

"Every believer in this world must become a spark of light." ~ Pope John XXIII
