"Humble yourselves before the LORD, and he will lift you up ." ~ James 4:10

General Washington carried with him, in his fie ld notebook, twenty-four pages of personal prayers he had handwritten. The following is his prayer for the United States of America:

"Almighty God, we make our earnest prayer that Thou wilt keep the United States in Thy Holy protection; and Thou wilt incline the hearts of the citizens to c ultivate a spirit of brotherly affection and love for one another, particu larly for their brethren who have served in the field. And finally that Tho u wilt most graciously be pleased to dispose us all to do justice, to love mercy, and to demean ourselves with that charity, humility, and pacific temper of mind which were the characteristics of the Divine Author of our blessed religion, and without a humble imitation of whose example in these things we can never hope to be a happy nation. Grant our supplication, we beseech Thee, through Jesus Christ our LORD. Amen."

"When you help a needy person, o it in such a way tat even your closest friend will not know about it." ~ Matthew 6:3-4
< br>The New York Times ran an amazing story. St. Jude's Childre n's Research Hospital in Memphis, Tennessee, get hundreds of donations - large and small - daily. One day they received a plain envelope with no ret urn address. Inside was a McDonald's Monopoly Sweepstake's ticket for a $1 million "Instant Winner."

St. Jude's called McDonald's. Officials ca me with a representative of the Arthur Anderson accounting firm. After chec king the board with a jeweler's eyepiece, he declared it a winner. McDonal d's and St. Jude officials agreed to respect the donor's apparent desire to remain anonymous. They made no effort to find out who it was. ~ Mark Link , S.J.

"You are like light for the whole world.... Your light must shine before people."~ Matthew 5:14, 16

A teacher asked her stu dents, "What if an incredible explosion destroyed all life on earth except for those of us in this classroom? Where would the Church be? They thought a minute. Then a boy said, "It would be in this room. We would be the Chu rch."

This story makes an important point. The Church is not a place where people gather. It is the people who gather. To have Church we must g ather. It's like the bread that we use for the Eucharist. Hundreds of grain s of wheat must be gathered to make it. In a similar way, only by gatherin g do we make the risen Christ visible in today's world.

Jesus assured us, "Where two or three come together in my name, I am there wit h them." ~ Mark Link, S.J.

What can we as Knights do to unify our p arish and the Catholic Church?

"Pray always that you will have the strength to go safely th rough and... stand before the Son of Man." ~ Luke 21:36

A very y oung man in a military hospital had lost a leg and was sinking rapidly. Abr aham Lincoln happened by, saw him, and offered to write a letter to his m other. When the boy finished dictating it, Lincoln added this postscript: "This letter was written by A. Lincoln."

When the boy read the lette r, he gazed at Lincoln and asked, "Are you our President?" The President nodded. Then Lincoln added, "Is there anything else I can do for you?" He said feebly: "I guess you might hold my hand and see me through." ~ Mark Li nk, S.J.

Lincoln was given a rare opportunity to comfort a fellow h uman being and seized it. Recall a time when you squandered an opportunity to display kindness.

"I shall pass through this world but once. A ny good therefore that I can do, or any kindness that I can show to any hu man being, let me do it now. Let me not defer it or...

"Love the LORD your God with all your heart, with all your soul, and with all your mind." ~ Mark 12:30-31

Fifteen year-old Therese Martin entered the Carmelite convent in France. From the day she e ntered, she dreamed of doing "great" things for God. The years passed with out her dream being even remotely realized. Naturally, she was disappointe d.

Then one day she was reading Saint Paul, where he says the 'best ' way to holiness is not doing 'great' things for God, but 'loving' things (1 Corinthians 12:31-13:1-13). After reading this, she wrote in her journ al: "O Jesus.... at last I have found my calling - my calling is to love." ~ Mark Link, S.J.

What are some of the loving things your Knights C ouncil has done for God this month?

We cannot do great things,
only small things with great love." ~ Mother Teresa of Calcutt a

"The LORD says, 'Why spend money on what does not satisfy?' " ~ Isaiah 55: 1-2

In her book, A Marriage Made in Heaven, Erma Bombeck describes how she fantasized her 25th wedding anniversary . "I pictured a large white tent with hundreds of guests milling around. Th e orchestra was playing our song, as my husband and I swayed gracefully on the dance floor.

Actually it turned out quite differently. M y kids threw a couple of hamburgers on the grill, gulped them down, and s plit - leaving me and my husband to clean up. After my husband put away the last things, he came over and said affectionately, "Close your eyes. I h ave a surprise for you." When I opened them, he was holding a jar of cauli flower, paced in pickle juice. He said softly, "I hid it from the kids, because I knew you liked cauliflower packed in pickle juice."

Erma c oncluded, "Maybe love is that simple." ~ Mark Link, S.J.

Have you taken the time to show your lady that you love her?
