“St. Michael defend us” |

Hello Brother Knights and Families,
The season of Lent is a wonderful time for us to look back at our lives and see what changes we need to make to bring us closer to God. We all know that God let his only son be hung on a wooden cross and die so that we could have a place in heaven. This is why there is so much joy Easter morning, because we know our Lord and Savior has risen from the dead so we know that someday we will be raised from the dead to join God and his Son in heaven.
The news media seems to take any form of religion out Easter, which is very sad to see. We may sometimes think that if we do not talk about it may just go away, but we as Catholics and members of the Knights of Columbus cannot let this happen. We need to stand up and be proud of our faith and defend it.
On Easter Sunday, don't just say Happy Easter also say this is a Joyful Day the Lord has risen indeed!
St. Michael the Archangel, defend us in battle.
Be our defense against the wickedness and snares of the devil.
May God rebuke him, we humbly pray; and do Thou,
O Prince of the Heavenly Host,
by the power of God, cast into hell Satan,
and all the evil spirits, who prowl about the world
seeking the ruin of souls. Amen.
St. Michael defend us.
