"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.

What gives some people so much trust? As Knight s, are we prepared to trust in God even i the grav...

"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

"Those who declare publicly that they belong to me, I will do the same for them before my Father in heaven." ~ Matthew 10:32
One Sunday morning, not long after the Civil War, a freed slave wandere d into a fashionable church in Richmond, Virginia. When the time for Commu nion came, to the consternation of many present, the ex-slave walked up t o receive.

Sensing the mood of these people, a prominent, respecte d man waled down the aisle and knelt next to his black brother. That man's courageous witness set an example that day that no one forgot.

The m an was Robert E. Lee, former general of the Confederate army. ~ Story told by Billy Graham

"The Son of Man did not come to be served; he came to serve ." ~ Matthew 20:28

On Thursday evening, April 12, 1945, radio stations interrupted all broadcasts to announce President Roosevelt' s death. It was critical, because World War II was at a crucial point.

Harry Truman was sworn in as president. Later, Truman addressed Congre ss. His final words were dramatic. He lifted his face upward, raised his a rms to heaven and said: Give me....an understanding heart to judge Thy peop le, that I ma discern between good and bad... I ask only to be a good and faithful servant of my LORD and my people (1 Kings 3:9)." ~ Mark Link, S.J .

"If we love others, we live in the light... But if we hate others, we are still in the darkness, we walk in it and do not know where we are going, because the darkness has made us blind." ~
1 John 2: 10-11

IN Feodor Dostoevski's novel, The Brothers Karamazov, a distraught woman comes to Father Zosima for help. She says that if he ca nnot help her, she thinks she will end her own life. Her problem is that s he no longer believes in God. She came to the point bit by bit without real izing it. Now her life is meaningless. All ashes!

Father Zosima tell s her she must go home and, without fail - and in a practical way, every day - love the people around her. If she does this, he promises, bit-by-b it she will come to the point where she'll find it impossible not to believe in God. ~ Mark Link, S.J.

What is Father Zosima's p oint; and why do/don't you tend to agree with it?

"The works is full of beauty when your heart is full of love." ~
