Fr. Joe Muszkiewicz K/C Ins. Rep. David Powlerski District Deputy Joe Kendzorski Grand Knight FROM THE DESK OF YOUR GRAND KNIGHT Love one another as I have loved you. Wouldn t it be wonderful if we could ALL live by Jesus words? Every day we hear stories of incomprehensible hatred. And sadly it is all social and economic levels. The other sad part of it all is the apathy and or feeling of being incapable of doing anything about it. Brother Knights, I believe there are things WE can do about the hatred in this country and maybe even in this world. NUMBER ONE: WE CAN LIVE OUR FAITH. We can live and spread the love of GOD and JESUS which what the CHRISTIAN FAITH is all about. A simple smile or a hello. A thank you or your welcome. Holding a door open for someone. Kindness breeds kindness. Hatred breeds hatred. Have a talk with your family and encourage your family, your extended family, and your friends to live the CHRISTIAN FAITH. The love of GOD. The love of our SAVIOR JESUS CHRIST. NUMBER TWO: Pay attention to those who are running for political offices. As a CATHOLIC PRO LIFE should be an important issue. Love and compassion for Human Rights at all levels should be an important issue. Love one another as I have loved you.
