The prime basis for true devotion to the Person of the Most Holy Spirit is charity, love, the love of God. If we are to be totally consecrated to the Person of the Most High Spirit and to Jesus Christ, it is charity that must abound in our lives, every part of our lives.

The above reflects the core belief and concerns of the Knights, and that concern carries through on three levels; the members of the Council and their families, the widows of departed Knights, and lastly, the Parish of which we are all members.

Our priests, of course, also deserve our support and our prayers, and there are several specific ways we can show that.

First, we should always remember them in our prayers. They may be priests, but they are, first and foremost, people just like you and me.

Secondly, we must go out of our way to thank them for all that they do, for they must live up to their calling every waking moment of their lives.

Third, in addition to thanking them, we must support them at all times, for, being human, they will experience times of adversity and deserve our support.

And last, we must do as the Good Book says; ‘Do unto others (priests) as you would have them do unto you’.

In closing, I would like to leave you with two thoughts, both of equal import when we consider charity. We have over a dozen families to whom we lend our assistance daily and for whom we pray daily.

And in our Council, we have two Knights who also happen to be priests, Fr. Sean McGrath and Fr. Pawel Zborowski, to whom we give thanks daily for gracing us with their presence.

In Christ,
Michael Daher,
Grand Knight Council #9349
