"Why are you a member of the Knights of Columbus?" This is the question that was asked at our latest District Meeting and I think it's a good question, at least part of the question I reflect on at the beginning of our fraternal year. The whole question is "Why am I a knight and what can I do to be a better knight this year".
We are all busy with our families, work, church and everything else in life. It's hard to squeeze in everything we want to do, and it is hard to maintain our focus on our mission with all these things pulling us in different direction.
However our Catholic faith teaches us that we were created by love, for love, to love. Through our baptism, our souls are changed, and we are to live our lives with the light of Christ shining brightly in our eyes, ringing in our voices, and make his light to visible to the world by our good works.
I am a knight so I can be with other men of faith that are facing the battle of good versus evil. Together, we are Christ's warriors in the conflict with darkness. To be a better knight I need to work to ensure I don't let my brother knights down, so they can look to me as a friend, a fellow man of faith, a trusted soldier of righteousness.
Vivat Jesus!
