"If Thou Considerest The Dignity Of The Giver, No Gift Will Seem To Thee Little Which Is Given By So

"If thou considerest the dignity of the Giver, no gift will seem to thee little which is given by so great a God."

Thomas a Kempis, Imitation of Christ

@recoiloperated no sword unfortunately lol. During the exemplification we received a rosary blessed by the Supreme Chaplain and a lapel pin (blessing status unknown). I think the sword & dress uniform thing are just for the 4th Degree Assembly which our local council doesn’t have currently?

prayers appreciated

Will be joining the Knights of Columbus next Sunday after Mass. Please pray for me that I’ll be able to make a good addition to our local Knights

"Lose not, brother, thy confidence of going forward to spiritual things; there is yet time, the hour is not yet past.

Why wilt thou put off thy resolutions from day to day? Arise, and begin this very moment and say: now is the time for doing, and now is the time to fight; now is the proper time to amend my life."

Thomas a Kempis, Imitation of Christ

We are created for God, to love God, to serve God in this life, and to be with Him forever in the afterlife.

"Seek love. Ask God for love every day. Along with love come all the other benefits and virtues. Love so that you may be loved by others. Give God your whole heart so that you remain in love."
