Brother Knights,
When you read this, Palm Sunday will be right around the corner. It is almost Easter. How have you progressed on your journey to grow closer to Christ? Have you not kept to your sacrifices, stumbled on your path, given up already? Perhaps you are one of the good ones who has remained on your chosen path of devotion. Wherever you are, you are still not too late to prepare your heart for the joy and celebration of Easter.
You don’t have to be perfect in your Lenten duty, you only need to make progress. Baby steps are still steps closer to Christ. Closer than you were before. We should be using this time to strive to become better men of faith, husbands, fathers, and Americans. The good Lord welcomes everyone who tries. Stumblers included!
I encourage everyone to attend all the Sacred Liturgies that you can. They are some of the most beautiful that the Church has (yes, they are also long). As Knights, we are called to be leaders to others in our faith and service. Consider how you participate and assist in those liturgies may inspire someone else to grow their love of Christ. Hope to see you there!
Semper
Vivat Jesus!
