Chaplain’s Summation for September
We are starting to finally feel the effect of some cooler temperatures, Children and Grandchildren will soon be going back to school. And before long the wind will start to pick up and our weekend afternoons will be divided between football and raking leaves.
For us Knights in the Father O’Neil Council it also means the annual Jessica Meredith Jacobsen 5K Memorial Run, the Crab Feast and the continued breaking in of our new officers.
But life is more then buying back to school clothes and raking leaves, there are in fact somethings that are more important then picking your fantasy football team now that the strike has settled.
In the midst of our busy lives we MUST make time for our Families, we MUST make time for private and family Prayer, and we also must continue to look after those who have no one but us Knights to depend on.
When Fr. Michael McGiviney founded the Knights I am sure that in his wildest dreams he would have never been able to SEE what Good works would come from the seed that he has planted.
God himself was able to SEE and he has made possible through the men who call themselves the Knights of Columbus, a whole community of Love, Compassion, and sincere Spirituality. Brothers to the man, loyal to God, Church and Country.
Fall for me has always involved planting bulbs, tulips, and other beautiful fall flowers.
The funny things about bulbs is that you sometimes forget what or where you planted them and you have a surprise in the Spring.
As Knights let us plant the seeds of our good work, our faith sharing and our Charities for in our efforts we will be Blessed with unexpected Graces and joy in continuing with the good work that Father McGiviney has started.
Let us pray that the good work that has begun will begin to Blossom and will Multiply through the Graces of the one who has promised to us that he would prepare a room for each of us, and that he himself would welcome us to his Father’s House if we Live his Gospel as our own.
