February 2016

My Brothers and Sisters in Christ,

The month of January was a perfect time for reflection on the work we have accomplished thus far as well as preparing for the second half of our Co-lumbian year. As we make the transition into this second half, let’s be sure to remember that nothing we do is possible without the strong family bond our council is so well known for. We have a lot of great events coming up and if we work together, we can accomplish anything!

In February, we start with our Annual Super Bowl party on Sunday, Febru-ary 7th. The doors will open at 1:00pm with kickoff being at 3:30pm. We are still selling presale tickets and hope that you will all come with your family and friends. Please see the flyer in our degree for more information.

On Wednesday February 10th we will celebrate Ash Wednesday, marking the beginning of the season of Lent. Lent is a great time for reflection and repentance. It also marks the beginning of our weekly Fish Fry dinners. This time honored tradition can be a great recruitment tool for both our Knights and Ladies councils. When you go to church on Sundays, be sure to speak with other parishioners about joining us for our weekly Fish Fry dinners. Let’s continue to grow our council while also reaching out to our community.

Our council is only as strong as its members. Setting aside differences in order to accomplish a greater goal is pivotal to the growth of our council. As we progress into the second half of the Columbian year, may the Lord con-tinue to bless our work and great us the peace and serenity to not do what is popular, but what is right.

“Commit to the Lord whatever you do, and He will establish your plans” –Proverbs 16:3

Vivat Jesus! Gene Hays, Jr., Grand Knight Grand Knight

What if your last paycheck was your last paycheck?

Statistics tell us that 10% of North Americans between ages 18

and 64 have a disability and that there is a 33% chance of a

person entering the work force today being disabled before they

retire. As people earn more, the financial risk posed by a disa-

bility becomes more significant. Unfortunately, very few peo-

ple have insured this risk. Seventy percent of employees in the

private sector are not covered by any type of long-term disabil-

ity insurance.

Ask yourself: “What is my largest asset?” Most people will say

it’s their home. But, the fact is that, it’s usually their ability to

earn a paycheck. Without this, all other assets are in jeopardy.

If you lose your ability to work, what would you do?

Income Armor® from the Knights of Columbus can pick up

where your paycheck leaves off.

Our Income Armor product is offered to members and their

wives ages 18-61 (subject to underwriting requirements). Cov-

erage cannot be cancelled as long as you pay your premiums

when they are due. Premiums are not guaranteed and increases

are possible, but only on a class basis.

Your base policy premium provides a comprehensive list of

benefits, including:

• For Total Disability

• For Partial Disability

• Waiver of Premium

• Organ Donor

• Rehabilitation & Retraining

I can help your family decide what product is just right for you.

Give me a call.

up (e.g. watching sports, eating desert) or take on (e.g. daily Mass, weekly Way of the Cross) as our Lenten sac-rifice (again, be realistic), the key is to give it that truly Christ-centered meaning.

Third, practice Christian charity Lent is a time to prepare for the fruitful celebration of the Lord’s Passion, Death, and Resurrection during Holy Week. That Paschal Mystery was God’s unfathomable and amazing testimony of love for us sinners. There is no better way to get in tune with that self-forgetful and self-sacrificial love than by imitating it. During Lent we should make a special point of serving our neighbors – but here again, be realistic. Here the traditional corporal works of mercy can spark ideas. The Catechism reminds us of them (#2447) Instructing, advising, consoling, comforting are spiritual works of mercy, as are forgiving and bearing wrongs patiently. The corporal works of mercy consist especial-ly in feeding the hungry, sheltering the homeless, cloth-ing the naked, visiting the sick and imprisoned, and bur-ying the dead. Among all these, giving alms to the poor is one of the chief witnesses to fraternal charity: it is also a work of justice pleasing to God Something in the air of spring brings out new buds, new branches, new life. The word “Lent” has its etymologi-cal roots in an Old English word meaning “spring.” Something in the air of Lent will bring out new buds, new branches, new life in our relationship with Christ; we just have to open up some windows.

So preparing for Lent means getting ready to hear and heed what God wants to say to you during those days. The Church gives us three general directives in this re-gard. by Father John Bartunek, LC

Source: Catholic.net

First, intensify our prayer life Start thinking now about how you can do this. It’s a good topic to talk about in spiritual direction. Do you need to increase your Eucharistic life, give more disci-pline to your personal prayer time, inculcate family pray-er time, go on a retreat? God will put something on your heart. But be realistic. Don’t let your eyes be bigger than your stomach (in the spiritual sense).

Second, embrace the Cross Lent is a penitential season, a time when we remember how self-centered we have been and tend to be, and re-new our commitment and efforts at repenting and grow-ing in Christian love. This is the origin of the tradition of “giving something up for Lent.” The idea is to make a sacrifice, denying our naturally self-indulgent tendencies in some way in order to unite ourselves more fully to Christ’s redeeming sacrifice on Calvary. This is not merely a self-help kind of resolution. It is a self-offering to God: “Lord, many times I have chosen to do my own will instead of yours. By offering this sacrifice I want to learn to take up my cross, to say “yes” to you and your will, following in Jesus’ footsteps.” Whatever we give

“Then let us celebrate with a feast, because this son of mine

was dead, and has come to life again” (Luke 15:24)

One of the most beloved parts of the Bible is the parable of the

prodigal son. In the context of Luke 15 it serves to explain why

Jesus spent so much time and energy on ministering to such reli-

giously marginal persons as tax collectors and sinners. While the

parable can be approached from many angles, at this point in Lent

the themes of repentance and forgiveness may be most appropri-

ate.

The parable pre-

sents the younger

son as a model of

the need for re-

pentance and

conversion. He

had spent his

father’s money

foolishly and

prodigally, acted

immorally and

reached “bottom”

as a feeder of

pigs (unclean

animals for

Jews). Instead of

wallowing in

despair or giving

up totally, the prodigal son takes positive action. He determines

to return home, admit his guilt to his father, ask for forgiveness

and accept whatever his father might decide. On arriving home he

acknowledges his foolish behavior, confesses his sins and throws

himself on the mercy of his father. He admits, “Father, I have

sinned against heaven and against you.”

In early 21st-century America it is unusual and refreshing to hear

anyone taking responsibility. Everybody today has an excuse, it

seems. Politicians, athletes and other public figures hire agents,

lawyers and public relations experts to make excuses for them. In

fact, it seems that accepting personal responsibility has become

the last resort of scoundrels who have simply run out of excuses.

By contrast, the prodigal son’s admission that he has sinned is a

clear statement from someone who has taken responsibility for his

own actions.

Repentance must precede forgiveness. And the prodigal son

finds forgiveness from his loving father. While the son was prod-

igal (negatively) in wasting his father’s money, the father is also

prodigal (positively) in the love that he displays toward his re-

turning son. He runs out to meet the son. He listens to the son’s

declaration of his sins and his desire to repent. He accepts the

son back into his household not as a hired hand but as a beloved

son. The father restores the son to his position and even throws a

grand party to rejoice over his son’s repentance. The father clear-

ly wanted to forgive his son, and he does so. Repentance pre-

cedes forgiveness, and forgiveness flows from repentance. That

is a basic biblical dynamic.

At this point in Lent the parable of the prodigal son conveys a set

of important biblical truths. We can turn our lives around. We

can go home again. God wants our repentance and wants to for-

give us. God never gives up on us, so we need never give up on

God or on ourselves.

Good Christians who may not need the radical repentance and

conversion displayed by the prodigal son can learn a valuable

lesson from the negative example of the older son. The older son

refuses to enter into the process of his brother’s repentance and

forgiveness. He is jealous and bitter, instead of generous and

joyful over his brother’s return. He fails to recognize that the

repentance of any sinner is an occasion of joy for us all. He

comes off as a sad, even tragic figure in the parable.

In the present phase of salvation history the process of repentance

and forgiveness has been greatly facilitated through Jesus’ death

and resurrection. As Paul notes in 2 Corinthians 5, God has rec-

Continued on Page 5

-onciled us to himself through Christ, and in turn has entrusted to

us the ministry of reconciliation. God wants not only that we not

refuse to participate. He wants us to rejoice over the repentance

of sinners and become active participants in the process. The

statement that God made Christ to be “sin” in order for us to be-

come righteous is best understood by assuming that Paul here

alludes to the Old Testament sacrificial rite called the “sin offer-

ing” as a way to bring out the sacrificial dimension of Jesus’

death. In other words, by offering himself as a sin offering for

us, Christ has made more possible than ever the process of recon-

ciliation with God.

The reconciliation of the prodigal son with the prodigal father is

celebrated in the form of a grand banquet. The Old Testament

reading from Joshua 5 describes the celebration of the first Pass-

over in the land of Canaan. Having finally reached the goal of

their journey, the people ate from the produce of the Promised

Land and no longer needed the manna that had sustained them in

the wilderness. Thus they transformed a Canaanite agricultural

festival into a commemoration of Israel’s liberation from slavery

in Egypt. There is continuity between the first Passover in the

Holy Land, the banquet for the prodigal son and the Eucharist

that we celebrate today.

Daniel J. Harrington, S.J., is professor of New Testament at

Weston Jesuit School of Theology in Cambridge, Mass.

ST. IGNATIUS’ SPIRITUAL EXERCISE

Preparation Days: Just as marathon runners do not begin a race

with a sprint, we start the Exercises slowly and gently. We till

the soil a bit before doing any planting. In the first days of the

full Exercises, we consider the gift of God’s ongoing creation

in the world and in us. We pray for a spirit of awe and grati-

tude for the gifts of God in our lives. We hope to experience a

deeply felt sense of God’s unconditional love for us.

First Week: Having recognized God’s boundless generosity to us,

we naturally face our own limited response. We let God re-

veal to us our sinfulness and need for conversion. We

acknowledge how we have misused God’s gift of freedom.

With God’s help, we recognize and understand the patterns of

sin in our lives. We do so in the context of knowing deep

down how much God loves us and wants to free us from eve-

rything that gets in the way of loving God, others, and our-

selves—that is, from everything that makes us unhappy. We

pray for the grace of embracing ourselves as loved sinners.

We keep our gaze fixed always on God’s mercy.

Second Week: Having experienced God’s faithful love, we are

moved to respond with greater generosity. We want to love

and serve God and others more. As we pray through the life of

Jesus Christ presented in the Gospels, we ask to know him

more intimately so that we can love him more dearly and fol-

low him more closely. We come to appreciate Jesus’ values

and his vision of the world. This heartfelt knowing that leads

to concrete action is a defining grace of the Exercises.

Third Week: Our deepening personal identification with Jesus

inspires us to want to be with him in his suffering and death.

We spend time contemplating the Lord’s passion, which is the

consummate expression of God’s faithfulness and love for us

Fourth Week: Just as we accompany Jesus in the Passion, we

walk with the Risen Lord in the joy of the resurrected life. We

continue to learn from him as he consoles others. Having sa-

vored God’s love for us and our world, we pray with a gener-

ous heart to find God in all things, to love and serve God and

others in concrete ways and with great enthusiasm.

Dear Knights and Ladies I am hoping 2016 is off to a great start for everyone.

The Ladies have jumped right into the new year. We started off with a Friday night steak fry that we helped the knights with. We set up for the steak fry, helped with desserts and the clean up. The steaks were wonder-ful, cooked by brother knight Ed Van Olphen. The menu also included potatoes, salad, roll and dessert. Everyone enjoyed it. Thank you very much, especially Ladies Belen Delgado and Sarah Hays Corado for all their hard work.

Our next event was our first bunco of the new year. We had a great turn out. The food was yummy. We had a taco bar with all the fixings to go with it. Everyone com-mented on what a good idea that was and enjoyed our taco bar, so look for a repeat in the not so near future. Then off to a fun afternoon of bunco. We played four rounds and we had new winners this time. Our own lady Connie even won most buncos. We had some really nice baskets for our raffle which were donated by Lady Nellie Landry, and Lady Marcia Harper and a Starbucks gift card from Lady Barbara Hector. And some very nice door prizes were donated by some of our other ladies. Thank you to all who donated. Everyone is looking for-ward to our next bunco which will hopefully be in March or April.

The Knights are having a SuperBowl party on Feb 7th; doors open at 1:00. Good food and lots of fun will be had by all so make plans to come on down.

Our Friday fish fry will be starting on Feb 12th. The La-dies will once again provide desserts. Thank you in ad-vance ladies.

We have a busy month coming up. Thank you Ladies for all your hard work a dedication. God’s Blessings, Tina Dietz Grand Lady

Sarah Hays Corado has only been back a short time

but she has jumped right back in and picked up where

she left off. She has helped out at every event we

have had since she has been back. She has volun-

teered to take the minutes at our meetings, do the ad-

vertising for our events at the churches and has helped

set up events for both the Ladies and the Knights. We

are happy that she has returned to help support the

Ladies and Knights .

Ash Wednesday is one of the most popular and important holy days in the liturgical calendar. Ash Wednesday opens Lent, a season of fasting and prayer.

Ash Wednesday takes place 46 days before Easter Sunday, and is chiefly observed by Catholics, although many other Christians ob-serve it too.

Ash Wednesday comes from the ancient Jewish tradition of penance and fasting. The practice includes the wearing of ashes on the head. The ashes symbolize the dust from which God made us. As the priest applies the ashes to a person's forehead, he speaks the words: "Remember that you are dust, and to dust you shall return." Alter-natively, the priest may speak the words, "Repent and believe in the Gospel."

Ashes also symbolize grief, in this case, grief that we have sinned and caused division from God. Writings from the Second-century Church refer to the wearing of ashes as a sign of penance.

Priests administer ashes during Mass and all are invited to accept the ashes as a visible symbol of penance. Even non-Christians and the excommunicated are welcome to receive the ashes. The ashes are made from blessed palm branches, taken from the previous year's Palm Sunday Mass.

It is important to remember that Ash Wednesday is a day of peniten-tial prayer and fasting. Some faithful take the rest of the day off work and remain home. It is generally inappropriate to dine out, to shop, or to go about in public after receiving the ashes. Feasting is highly inappropriate. Small children, the elderly and sick are ex-empt from this observance.

It is not required that a person wear the ashes for the rest of the day, and they may be washed off after Mass. However, many people keep the ashes as a reminder until the evening.

Recently, movements have developed that involve pastors distrib-uting ashes to passersby in public places. This isn't considered ta-boo, but Catholics should know this practice is distinctly Protestant. Catholics should still receive ashes within the context of Mass. Ash Wednesday is not a Holy Day of Obligation.

In some cases, ashes may be delivered by a priest or a family mem-ber to those who are sick or shut-in.
