2 MESSAGE FROM THE GRAND KNIGHT... MAKES WE PONDER This past few months have been very busy for me. Not only the many things going on with the Knights but work and family has been most demanding of late. Then something happened to make me ponder. That event was the loss of a wonderful lady whose character and loving ways was written on her face. It also could be in her voice. When I would go see Nat Lucido concerning council business I would always say hello to Rose. I always got the same response, hello Jim and the tone of her voice was soft and kind. After a few pleasantries Rose would then belt out in a loud cry, Nat, Jim is here. Sounds funny, but when I think of Rose Mary Lucido this is what I remember first. Rose s passing was not a shock but it did leave me thinking about my own mortality and the gift all us Catholics are given; the reason for our existence and the reward we know is promised. This newsletter article may seem somewhat glum in comparison to my previous articles but it is really one of my happiest. I have two things to recommend, read John Drabik s article below and read this famous prayer from Cardinal John Henry Newman: O Lord, support us all the day long, until the shadows lengthen, and the evening comes, and the busy world is hushed, and the fever of life is over, and our work is done. Then in your mercy, grant us a safe lodging and a holy rest, and peace at the last. Amen. Vivat Jesu fellow Knights, may God give you all safe lodging. Jim Cunningham

4 FROM OUR LECTURER... Brothers, We need to remember that we are part of Jesus' salvation team. We have a role to play each and every day. We don't need to be TV evangelists or street corner preachers or miracle workers, just sharers of Jesus' love for all. John Meditation: John 16: th Week of Easter, May 11 You will grieve, but your grief will become joy. (John 16:20) When we watch a movie or read a book, it s usually pretty easy to follow the plot. We understand the story because we see one event following from another, and we begin to get a feel for where the story is heading. Wouldn t it be nice if life worked the same way? The problem is that when you re inside a story, it can be easy to lose the thread of the plot and to wonder where it is heading. As Jesus approached his crucifixion, he tried to help his disciples with this sort of confusion. He knew that they would be faced with a huge challenge when they saw him die on the cross. To prepare them, he explained that this was part of the great story that he had called them into. They would experience wrenching grief, and they would feel out of step with the rest of the world. But that wouldn t be the final chapter. Their grief would be turned to joy, and the story would take on a whole new meaning. Do you believe that your life is part of this same story? While the disciples had to wrestle through the grief of Jesus death, your part of the story has come later. You already know about Jesus resurrection. If you can keep your eyes focused on Jesus victory over sin and death, you ll know a joy, a stability, and a peace that nothing in this world can take away from you. At times we lose sight of God s story. We forget that our joy comes from Jesus salvation, not from the story that the world offers us. Losing focus, we can begin to lose our trust that God is with us. This is why we need to immerse ourselves every day in the story of the Scriptures. We need God s word to sharpen our focus. Never forget that you are part of an epic story. You are one of the great... cloud of witnesses whose lives have been changed by the Lord (Hebrews 12:1). You aren t just a passive observer; you re an active participant. You have a role to play today in moving this story forward and Jesus is right beside you, helping you every step of the way. Lord, teach me the wonderful story of your salvation. Help me to make it the story of my life.
