"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?

"(Jesus said to this disciples), Proclaim the gospel to eve ry creature."~ Mark 16:15

Composer Giacomo Puccini was stricken by cancer while working on his last opera, Turandot. He said to his students, "If I don't finish it, finish it for me." Shortly afterward, he died. His students carried out his wish. In 1926, Puccini's favorite st udent, Arturo Toscanini, directed the premiere in Milan. When the opera r eached the point where Puccini was forced to put down his pen, Toscanini s topped the music, turned to the audience, and cried out, "Thus far the M aster wrote, but he died." A reverent silence filled the opera house. ;

Then Toscanini picked up the baton again, smiled through his tea rs, and cried out, "But the disciples finished his work." At conclusion o f the opera, the audience broke into a tumultuous applause. ~ Mark Link, S.J.

How prepared and willing are we Knights to help finish our Mast er's work? Are we proving it with our Council activities?

"I do not call you servants any longer... Instead, I call y ou friends." ~ John 15:15

I used to drive a cab for a living. It was a cowboy's life, a life for someone who wanted no boss. What I didn't realize was that it could also be a ministry. One night, I responded to a call. When no one responded to my horn, I rang the doorbell. A small woma n in her 80s came to the door. She took my arm and we walked slowly to the cab. She dept thanking me for my kindness, and asked, "Can you drive thro ugh downtown?"

"It's not the shortest way," I answered quickly. "Oh , I'm in no hurry, " she said, "I'm on my way to a hospice." I looked in the rear view mirror. Her eyes were glistening. "The doctor says I don't h ave very long." I quietly reached over and shut off the meter. "What route would you like me to take?" I asked.

We drove through the neighborho od where she and her husband had lived when they were newlyweds. Sometimes she'd ask me to slow at a corner and she would...

"So keep up your courage, men..." ~ Acts 27:25

A decline in courage may be the most striking feature an outside observer no tices in the West today. The Western world has lost its civic courage, bot h as a whole and separately, in each country, in each government, in eac h political party, and, of course, in the United Nations. Such a decline in courage is particularly noticeable among the ruling and intellectual el ites, causing an impression of a loss of courage by the entire society.

There remains many courageous individuals, but they have no determini ng influence on public life. Political functionaries exhibit this depressio n, passivity, and perplexity in their actions and in their statements, a nd even more so in their self-serving rationales, as to how morally justif ied it is to base state policies on weakness and cowardice.

M ust one point out that from ancient times a decline in courage has been con sidered the first symptom of the end? ~ Aleksandr Sozhenit...

"Every time you eat this bread and drink from this cup, you proclaim the LORD's death until he comes." ~ 1 Corinthians 11:26
Saint Mark ends his account of the Last Supper, saying, "Then they sang a hymn and went out to the Mount of Olives (Mark 14:26)." The Disciples fe lt a deep joy as they walked along under the stars. But it was bittersweet , for Jesus had said man sorrow-tinged things. He said, "This is my body, which is given for you... This is my blood, which is poured out for you ( Luke 22:19-20)."

Even though Jesus warned his disciples that he was to die violently (Matthew 16:21), they never quite got the point. ~ Mark L ink, S.J.

As we reflect on these daily readings, are we getting Hi s point? Are we hearing God's call of the Knights, as the right arm of the Church?

"Every time ministers cal their people around the table , they call them to experience not only the LORD's presence but his absence as well; they call them to.... sadness as well as...
