letter. We had our installation of officers At Jesus the Divine Word , and what
a grand time that was. Food was as if we were in Ireland Thanks to the
A lot of Thank You’s go out go out for that night. A great big one to the priest substituting for Fr. Leary filling in on such short notice and what a great job he did. You would think that he had done Installations for years. Next, to Fr. Daly, who after a wedding, confessions, and two masses, still found time in his day to come by, Thank you for being there, you are truly a friend of the Knights and I count you as one of my blessings. Also, thank you to SK Edward Waskiewicz, whose level hand and guide book that he put together and as the Faithful Navigator, lead the officers of Our Lady Seat of Wisdom to a perfect installation. Thanks to SK Larry Smialek who was our Emcee, as always and to my Deputy Grand Knight SK Big John O’Conner who only asked what can I do then went and did it no matter what. Also, thanks to all the Ladies of the Officers who helped in so many ways. Finally, and most especially to my wife who allows me to be all I want to be.

Editor’s Note: the following is a talk given by Deacon
Ed’s on thee Conclusion of Mass given St. Phillip the
Seeing Jesus Christ in the Mass
I thank you for inviting me here this
evening as you celebrate “Seeing Jesus Christ in the
- The Communion Prayer - Prayer after Communion- The announcements- The
blessing- The dismissal- The closing
hymn.
Being at the end, I hope to leave with you
a summary of the series as well as a deeper desire to participate in the Mass
and to be transformed or converted by your attendance at Mass.
The Lord be with you. (And also with you)
A reading from the holy Gospel according to Luke 24:13-35. (Glory to you, O
Lord). May the Words of this Gospel be always in our minds, on our lips and in our
hearts.
“Now that very day two of them were going
to a village seven miles from Jerusalem called Emmaus, and they were conversing
about all the things that had occurred. And
it happened that while they were conversing and debating, Jesus himself drew near
and walked with them, but their eyes were prevented from recognizing him.
He asked them, "What are you
discussing as you walk along?" They stopped, looking downcast. One of
them, named Cleopas, said to him in reply, "Are you the only visitor to
And he replied to them, "What sort of
things?" They said to him, "The things that happened to Jesus the
Nazarene, who was a prophet mighty in deed and word before God and all the
people, how our chief priests and rulers both handed him over to a sentence of
death and crucified him. But we were hoping that he would be the one to redeem
And he said to them, "Oh, how foolish
you are! How slow of heart to believe all that the prophets spoke! Was it not
necessary that the Messiah should suffer these things and enter into his
glory?" Then beginning with Moses and all the prophets, he interpreted to
them what referred to him in all the scriptures.
As they approached the village to which
they were going, he gave the impression that he was going on farther. But they
urged him, "Stay with us, for it is nearly evening and the day is almost
over." So he went in to stay with them. And it happened that, while he was
with them at table, he took bread, said the blessing, broke it, and gave it to
them. With that their eyes were opened and they recognized him, but he vanished
from their sight.
Then they said to each other, "Were
not our hearts burning within us while he spoke to us on the way and opened the
scriptures to us?" So they set out at once and returned to
The Gospel of the Lord. Praise to you Lord
Jesus Christ.
I’m certain that your saying to yourself: This
is supposed to be about the conclusion of the Mass, why is the Deacon going
back to the Liturgy of the Word? The reason is simple. When I was a youngster
and we had the Latin Mass, the Mass ended with the gospel reading from the
beginning of
Christ has risen from the dead, but he
hasn’t forgotten his disciples. He appears to them, but they could not
recognize him. He shared with them a homily, most likely reciting biblical
verses, then explaining the scriptures to them. Just like the Liturgy of the
Word. Then a most important phenomenon took place. THEY INVITE HIM INTO THE
PLACE WHERE THEY WERE GOING and recognize him in the breaking of the bread.
Just like our Liturgy of the Eucharist. When we step up to the Eucharistic
minister, presenting ourselves to receive Christ and say a strong AMEN. What
follows should be our response to this celebration of ours. Our hearts burning
within us and the desire to share the gift we have received with others.
Thus the reason for the Prayer after
Communion. It is a way for us to thank God for the Incarnation. It’s a way to
thank Christ for coming into our hearts and into our lives. It’s a way for us
to pray for each other that what we have received will overwhelm us and sustain
us as we leave the sacred sanctuary of the church and go off to extend God’s
Kingdom into this world. A tough task before us, given the world the way it is
today. In a sense we must allow our hearts to burn within us and allow our Lord
and Savior within us to motivate us and be like him. It’s free will. It’s up to
us.
But, I ask, if the entire Mass is a
prayer, why do we have individual prayers like the Prayer after Communion? In
some ways I see the liturgy teaching us to pray as we go off to the ministry
God has called us to perform.
My wife Marie and I visit the hospital on
Friday afternoons. Our intention is to visit, pray with the patients and offer
them the Eucharist. When it comes to praying, a few say, “It’s been a while
since I’ve been to Church,” “I don’t know how to pray,” or a very few will say,
“What is prayer.” Yet when it comes time to say Our Father, they all pray along
and I remind them, joyfully, that they can pray. You may find yourself in the
same situation which is why I included the Prayer after Communion in this
discussion. And I simply ask, Do you know how to pray? Could you lead a group
in prayer? Just a few years ago I myself said to myself, “Help me God! I will
need to lead a group of people in prayer?”
And for this important lesson I turn to
John Paul II’s “Letter to Families” presented on February 2, 1994: Prayer makes the Son of God present among us:
"For where two or three are gathered in my name, I am there among
them" (Mt 18:20). This Letter to Families wishes in the
first place to be a prayer to Christ to remain in every human family.
It is significant that precisely in and
through prayer, man comes to discover in a very simple and yet profound way his
own unique subjectivity: in prayer the human more easily perceives the
depth of what it means to be a person. This is also true of the family, which
is not only the basic cell of society, but also possesses a particular
subjectivity of its own. This subjectivity finds its first and fundamental
confirmation, and is strengthened, precisely when the members of the family
meet in the common invocation: "Our Father". Prayer increases the
strength and spiritual unity of the family, helping the family to partake of
God's own strength.
I’m sure you’ve heard the saying, “The
family that prays together, stays together.” So the Church offers us the
opportunity to pray as a family during the Mass and at the conclusion. The
priest, In persona Christi, in the person of Christ, sends US, his
family, transformed by the Sacrament of the Eucharist. But I know there are some who are full of
faith, those who expect God to answer their prayers. A word to the wise: Be
careful what you pray for!! Like the man in this story who has a home on the
shore of the river.
The man is in his home when the waters of
the river start to rise. A police van drives by the house. There is a
loudspeaker on the roof and the person inside the van is yelling: “The river is
rising! There is much danger! Evacuate your home now and come with us!”
The man runs out to his front porch and
yells back, with confidence, “I’m not worried. God is going to save me.” The waters of the river continue to rise,
covering the street and the man’s front porch. A man in a boat comes by and
yells through a loudspeaker: “The river is still rising! There is much danger!
Evacuate your home and come into the boat with me!” The man yells from his second story window,
“I’m not worried. The Lord will save me!”
The waters continue to rise and the currents become dangerous. The man
climbs to the roof of the house just to stay dry. A helicopter comes by with a
ladder dangling. A man with a loudspeaker yells, “The river is still rising. If
you don’t grab the ladder and come with me, you will surely perish. Come into
the helicopter with me!” The man yells
from the roof, “You don’t understand. I have faith in God. God will save me!” A short time later the currents of the river
carry the house and the man downstream. The man tosses and turns and flips
upside down. Unable to catch his breath, the man drowns.
Soon the man is standing in line to be
judged and he begs the angels, “I demand to see God.” In a short while, the
Almighty is standing in front of the man. “God, I had faith in you. I knew you
were going to save me and yet I still died. Why?” “Why? You ask,” God said. “I sent you a van
and a boat and a helicopter. What else was I supposed to do?”
Like the disciples on the road to Emmaus,
this man could not recognize the hand of God. The man had tremendous faith, but
he was blind. I wonder how many of us are the same. We can believe that Jesus
Christ is physically present in the Eucharist, but if we don’t recognize him,
we too are lost.
Yes, Christ is truly in us. We should
recognize this and keep him with us in all of our activities. What particular
activities? Those mentioned in the bulletin and in the announcements. We should
maintain an interest in the activities of our Church. Some of them are good for
the parish organizations. Some of them are good for socializing. Some of them
are good for us and our relationships with God and with our neighbors. Some of
them may seem unimportant or “not for me.” But I will tell you that God calls
us in ways many of us do not expect.
As a community we should be seeking ways
to help one another. A lot of times, the Church provides the activities to do
this. We should listen attentively to the announcements. There could be an
opportunity for you to serve others. Just as God speaks to us through his body
and blood which we receive, just as he speaks to us in prayer, so too does he
speak to us as the priest or pastor or deacon announces the activities of the
parish.
Many parishes have a problem with where to
put the announcements. Some do it at the beginning of the Mass so that more
people will hear, but there are those who come to Mass late. It is not proper
anywhere else during the Liturgy, except at the end.
When you have family or friends come to
help you, you don’t give them directions on what to do, then give them a meal
or drinks. You provide the meal and drinks first, then when they are filled and
satisfied, you direct them on what to do; you teach them what you want them to
do, then you send them out and accompany them if necessary. It’s the order of
life. It’s the order of the Liturgy of the Mass.
So, after the short presentation of the
announcements have been given, the priest says, “The Lord be with you.” And we
answer, “And also with you.”
If there is a Deacon present he may say,
“Bow your heads and pray for God’s Blessing.”
We’ve got all the information we need. We should recognize God’s voice
speaking to us as, during the Mass he has told us what to pray for, who to pray
for, and how to improve our relationship with God and His Church.
There are several prayers to acknowledge
the Liturgical Season. And the prayers always end with a blessing.
One of the greatest and probably the most
confusing gifts we have are blessings. We are always asking the Priest or the
Deacon for a blessing. One of the
greatest gifts I have received in ordination is the giving of the public
blessing, and to bless families and individuals, particularly the young
children who have not yet received their First Communion.
The Church reserves public blessings for
the ordained. But have you ever listened to the words? “May Almighty God bless
you…” “May the blessing of Almighty God… descend upon you and remain with you
forever.” The blessing does not come from us! The blessing comes from God, through
us. As the Lord states to Moses and his brother Aaron in the Book of Numbers,
“The Lord bless you and keep you! The Lord let his face shine upon you, and be
gracious to you! The Lord look upon you kindly and give you peace. So shall
they invoke my name and I will bless them.”
I WILL BLESS THEM. The blessing is God’s
desire to be with us. The blessing is our desire that the Lord be with you, but
the Catholic blessing is more than words, the Sign of the Cross is also a part
of our actions. By virtue of our
Baptism, the Church teaches that anyone can bless themselves as a reminder of
our Baptism.
The most spirit filled action I have ever
witnessed is a dad or mom entering the church with their young child, taking
them to the Baptismal or Holy Water font, dipping their tiny fingers into the
water and teaching the child how to bless himself. Then watching the look on the child’s face as
they desire to do it for themselves.
Yes, WE CAN BLESS OURSELVES, but we bless
ourselves in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit.
During the rite of Baptism, the celebrant traces the Sign of the Cross on the
child’s or adult’s forehead and invites the parents and godparents to do the
same. We want the parents and godparents to continuously bless their children.
The blessing can simply be the sign of the cross with the words, I LOVE YOU.
In our grace before meals, we ask that the
Lord bless us and the gifts we are about to receive. We thank God for the gifts
he has given to us to sustain us in this life. FOOD and the Eucharist!!
When someone sneezes what do we say? We
say “God bless you.” It was thought that during a sneeze, the good spirits
escaped the individual. By saying “God bless you,” the good spirits returned to
the individual. Very simple, done by anyone, but again, it’s testimony that the
blessing does not come from us, but from God. It also testimony that Emmanuel,
God is with us.
Jesus loves the little children who
anticipate and hunger for love. That is why Christ, when his apostles bickered
over who was greatest, placed a child in their midst, placed his arms around
the child and said, “Whoever receives one child such as this in my name,
receives me; and whoever receives me, receives not me but the one who sent me.”
And so we are dismissed to do God’s work
in the world with the gifts of the Holy Spirit given to us in
Confirmation: Wisdom, Understanding, Counsel, Fortitude or Courage,
Knowledge, Piety or Holiness, and Fear of the Lord or Respect. We use these
gifts to perform the Corporal Works of Mercy: To feed the hungry,
give drink to the thirsty, clothe the naked, give a home to the homeless, visit
the sick, ransom the captive and bury the dead. We use these gifts to
perform the Spiritual works of Mercy: To instruct the ignorant,
counsel the doubtful, admonish sinners, bear wrongs patiently, forgive offences
willingly, comfort the afflicted, pray for the living and the dead.
And are we sent with the words, “Good
luck! Hope you make it! Being a follower of Christ isn’t easy, but you’ll do
it, or else!!” No! The priest or the
Deacon if he is present, says, “The Mass is ended, Go in Peace” or “Go in the
peace of Christ.” Christ told us, “My
yoke is easy, my burden light.” The Church tells us that this is true if we do
it in the peace of Christ. And here is
the amazing thing: How did Mass begin? It began with the sign of the cross and
the priest’s words, “May the grace and peace of God our Father and the Lord
Jesus Christ be with you.” In other words, May the Holy Spirit be with you. May God’s peace be with you. And the word “peace” is echoed throughout the
After a long day at work in his cubicle,
the young man simply wanted to go home, relax and prepare for his next day at
work. As he made his way toward the elevator, he heard screaming and saw black
smoke and flames billowing out of another office, into the hallway. Panic gripped him as a succession of thoughts
flew through his mind. I’m on the sixth floor. I’ll never make it down. I’m
going to die! What he had considered his only means of escape, the hallway, was
engulfed in flames and impossible to navigate.
As his mind continued to race, he heard
fire engines and remembered that the offices were lined with windows all across
his floor. He coughed and staggered to a window in hope of a swift rescue.
Instead, when he looked down, he could see nothing but a curtain of smoke
covering the area. If anyone could see him, they would simply watch him die.
Through the smoke and flames, he realized that a crowd had gathered and, along
with the firemen everyone was yelling “JUMP!”
The young man felt a cloud of fear envelop him. Over a loudspeaker he
heard the voice of what he assumed to be that of a fireman. “The only way
you’ll survive is if you jump! We’ve spread out a safety net. You’ll be
perfectly safe!”
As the crowd continued to yell, the young
man discovered that he did not have the courage to make the leap without being
able to see the net. His feet were cemented to the floor. Then, over the
loudspeaker came the voice of a familiar and trusted friend. “It’s okay, Dave!
You can jump!” As the familiar voice reached the young man, he felt his fear
lift. The trust that he had gave him the courage to jump safely down, into the
net.
I told you two stories about men of faith.
They both feared what would happen if they exercised that faith. They would be
leaving their comfort zone. But it was a comfort zone that was about to perish.
Similar to Christ, the Good Shepherd, we
read about and talked about this past Sunday. Sometimes we are directed by the
Shepherd outside of our comfort zone. Oh yes, all of us have our comfort zones.
For some it’s society. For some it’s the friendship of their children. For
others it is in those things that give them pleasure. All of us should question
our faith, like
And I can almost guarantee that the
warning or message will not come from a man with a loudspeaker. Like
For you children, it may come from a stern
“NO!” from your parents, no matter what your friends are doing. It may come from a sudden awakening at three
o’clock in the morning. It may come from
a ticket being issued by a police officer.
It may come from the words of a perspective employer. It may come during a silent drive to work. It may come from a reading of scripture or a
homily. It may come from a blessing or after receiving Christ in the Eucharist. It may come from a talk being given by an
ordained minister.
This is what we should seek from the
May the Risen Lord’s peace be within your
hearts and rest in your relationships. May you recognize the Spirit flowing in
your words and actions. May God always
guide you in Faith.
The Lord be with You. And also with you.
May Almighty God bless you, the Father,
Son and Holy Spirit.
Then the Liturgy ends with a hymn.
How many times have you listened to the
radio on the way to work. A song comes on and stirs something in you. Then for
some unknown reason, the song sticks with you through the entire day. In your
quietest moments that song will return and you find yourself humming the tune
at the oddest times during the day.
Wouldn’t it be fantastic if that song were
the hymn you heard at the end of Mass? It would be like reliving the
That’s what the Mass is all about.
Others should recognize Christ in you by
the breaking of the bread.
News from the District Deputy: Larry Donnelly, SK “Living our Faith”
District
Deputy's Report:
It is that time of year that I
will be installing our new officers.
This is a great time for us.
Establishing our leadership is the start we need to achieve all if our
goals for the coming year. Those in
office need to take our newly acquired positions and strive to accomplish all
of our duties with energy and enthusiasm and work hand in hand with our new
Grand Knights. Members of the Councils need to step forward and volunteer to
either chair a program or work with a chair for the success of the
program.
There is a lot to accomplish in
these first months of our fraternal year.
Our membership drive has started so we all need to get out and talk to
the men of our parishes; especially those new parishioners. They will be looking for new friends and ways
to help the Church. What better way than
to be a Knight! Our Worthy State Deputy,
Edgar Haynes, has challenged all the incoming officers to bring in two new
members by September. We have a First
Degree ceremony on 8/22/06 at 7:00 pm at Calvert Council no 7870 in
Other events that need our membership support are the annual truck raffle and the tootsie roll drive. Let’s get to the meetings to get information and step up to support these worth while drives. The week of Aug 12th to Aug 19th is Family week. Invite members of your parishes to come to your picnics.
The membership programs are initiated throughout the month of August. Your Grand Knight has these dates and should be encouraging our program directors to attend. There is a wealth of information that is up to date to be attained about the programs, so plan to attend the meetings to get the latest information.
I wish you all good luck in the coming year, and if there is any way I can assist do not hesitate to call me.
God Bless.

Pro-Life
Sanctuary of Life
“From within the heart of the world, the
family has a decisive and determinative relationship with life. As a Sanctuary
of life, the family must welcome it, defend it, accompany it during its
development, especially during the whole process of its education….The family
lovingly bears witness to the uniqueness of new life….The instruction of the
Didache, “Thou shalt not kill the child in its mother’s womb” (2, 1),
incorporated into the living tradition of the Church, must resound even today
from the heart of every household. Only God is the Lord of life!"
(Cardinal Alfonso Lopez Trujillo, President, Pontifical Council for the Family,
Homily to Pontifical Academy for Life, February, 1997).
The Didache, while not Sacred Scripture, is a
short treatise on the Doctrine of the Twelve Apostles. It was the Catechism, if you will, of the
early church. Besides the reference to
abortion above, there also appears in a letter attributed to St. Barnabas (a
companion to
This idea of the family as being the basic
relationship of life is nothing new then; it has been the Church’s teaching
from the time of the Apostles until now.
If the family is the Sanctuary of Life, then abortion and contraception
destroys that sanctuary.
Pope John Paul II spoke of the Trinity as being
a family in its truest sense. He did not
say the Trinity is like a family, he said the Trinity is a Family. As a family, then, in imitation of the
Trinity, we must be that Sanctuary of Life.
Until the mid 1930’s, all major Protestant
denominations understood abortion to be morally wrong. It is time to remind our Protestant Brothers
(and some Catholics) of the teachings of the Early Church Fathers and of the
connection between Family, Life, and the Trinity.

As everyone gets ready to go off into vacation season, and we have
some time to think about our situations and the care for our family, I urge you
not to forget me! Give me a chance to
help you. If you want to know more about

Trivia
Question
Editor’s note: Again SK Larry Smialek has come through
with a rather interesting bit of history
Who was the first president of our Country?
I'm sure
that George Washington was your best guess. After all, no one else comes to
mind. But think back to your history
books - The United States declared its independence in 1776, yet
So who was running the country during these initial years of this young
country? It was the first eight
Once the
signing took place in 1781, a President was needed to run the country. John
Hanson was chosen unanimously by Congress (which included George Washington).
In fact, all the other potential candidates refused to run against him, as he
was a major player in the revolution and an extremely
influential member of Congress.
As the first President, Hanson had quite
the shoes to fill. No one had ever been President and the role was poorly
defined. His actions in office would set precedent for all future
Presidents. He took office just as the Revolutionary War ended. Almost
immediately, the troops demanded to be paid. As would be expected
after any long war, there were no funds to meet the salaries. As a result, the
soldiers threatened to overthrow the new government and put
All the members of Congress ran for
their lives, leaving Hanson as the only guy left running the government. He
somehow managed to calm the troops down and hold the country together. If he
had failed, the government would have fallen almost immediately and
everyone would have been bowing
to King Washington.
Hanson, as President, ordered all foreign troops off American soil, as well as
the removal of all foreign flags. This was quite the feat, considering the fact
that so many European countries had a stake in the
So what happened? Why don't we hear about the first eight presidents?
It's quite simple - The Articles of Confederation didn't work well. The
individual states had too much power and nothing could be agreed upon A new doctrine needed to be written -
something we know as the Constitution. And that leads us to the end of our
story. George Washington was definitely not the first President of the
IN CLOSING
As most of
you know, our Knights of Columbus Council worked very hard last year to help
get Eucharistic Adoration started at Jesus the Divine Word. Many of our Knights signed up initially to
spend time before the Eucharist and are still spending time in adoration at
Divine Word. St. John Vianney is trying
to get Eucharistic Adorers to sign up to participate in adoration on Thursday
each week.
I recently
read a book on the Eucharist by Father Robert DeGrandis, a Josephite Father who
has traveled the country in his work as a priest. In his book he notes that there today there
are some Catholics who do not believe that Jesus is the Consecrated Host. One survey taken about 6 or 7 years ago found
that 80 percent of Catholics do not really believe in the “Real Presence” of
Jesus. Father DeGrandis speaks to the
Real Presence of Christ in the following:
“The best talk I ever heard on the real presence of Jesus in the
Eucharist was at
Father
DeGrandis goes on to ask, “Isn’t it astounding that there are some Catholics
who do not believe in the Eucharist, but Satan and Satanists believe?”
If you are
not spending some time each week before the Eucharist, you should consider
