SK Michael Eddie

Sir Knights,

As I write this article, we as a country are still reeling from recent events in El Paso and Dayton. Events beyond our control and comprehension as rational human beings. Unfortunately too many innocents lost their lives going about the business of every day living. We pray for the lost souls, the families that are suffering, and the untold witnesses that carry the burden of the memories of watching their fellow citizens senselessly murdered.

Now comes the time where your politicians clamor for your support, your political contributions, and preaching that “Thoughts and Prayers are not needed”.

This is NOT who we are as Catholic Gentlemen. The time for thoughts and prayers is always. The time could not be better for prayers. Our country needs God’s grace divine intervention now more than ever. Regardless of our political leanings, we must pray for our country, our fellow citizens, and yes… our political leaders. Even the ones you cannot agree with.

“Finally, Bretheren, farewell. Mend your ways, heed my appeal, agree with one another, live in peace, and the God of love and peace will be with you.”

2 Corinthians 13:11

 In God We Trust
