The Monthly Newsletter of the Knights of Columbus

Our Grand Knight’s ReportMy Brother Knights,

October is upon us with thoughts of cooler weather,the start of Football Season, Apple Cider andPumpkin Spices and for those of us still youngat heart – Halloween. But did you know whatOctober really is? It is the month of the Rosary.

Many great popes, saints, and priests have encouragedus to pray the rosary. It’s a powerful prayer, they say,one that can change your life, strengthen the family, bringpeace to the world, convert entire nations, and win thesalvation of souls. I did not grow up reciting the rosaryand it wasn’t until I joined the Knights that I experiencedsharing the rosary with others.

Unfortunately, not all of us may feel it is relevant for usbut more for very religious people such as priests, sisters,and exceptional Catholics. We know it’s an important prayerbut it takes fifteen to twenty minutes and we’re too busyor it’s too hard to stay focused for that much time andstill others may think that it’s boring and monotonous.

Then I came across an excerpt from a book which I thoughtwas so relevant for all of us who came down here becauseof the Ocean. It went “Think of the rosary as being likethe ocean: There’s something in it for everyone, whetheryou consider yourself a veteran mystic longing to go deeperin prayer with our Lord, a novice struggling to learn howto pray, or someone seeking the Lord’s help, right now,with something going on in your life.

The deep-sea explorer and the child making sand castleson the beach can fully enjoy the same ocean while playingat different levels. And this is true with the rosary. If therosary is not a part of your regular prayer life right now,it’s easy to get your feet wet with this devotion.”

These were the five key things it said we need to knowto get started.

“First,  we don’t have to pray the rosary all at once.  Sure,some people might sit down and quietly pray a whole

rosary in one sitting but you can say one decadeat a time. Many holy men and women and evenpopes have prayed the rosary this way and havefound it manageable and fruitful for their busy lives.”

“Second,  we can pray it anywhere!  The rosary islike a portable chapel we can keep in our pocket

and pull it out anytime, anyplace. Bringing our heartsinto the rhythm of the rosary is something we can dointermittently throughout the day.”

“Third, we can pray the rosary in different ways, customizingit to fit the needs of the moment. Sometimes we mightfocus on the words of the prayers, thinking, for example,of Gabriel’s greeting to Our Lady as we slowly say withgreat devotion, “Hail Mary, full of grace, the Lord is withthee.” At other times, we might reflect on the mysteriesof Christ’s life, prayerfully contemplating scenes such ashis birth in Bethlehem,his transfiguration, or his deathon the cross, etching the Gospel on our hearts. At stillother times, we might focus on the holy name of Jesusat the center of each Hail Mary, speaking his name tenderlywith love as the pulse of our rosary.”

“Fourth,  it’s easy to fit the rosary into your schedule.  Doyou have two and a half minutes in your day that

you can give to God? This is the beauty of the rosary.”

“Fifth,  even if I’m not able to give the rosary my fullattention, it’s still worth praying.  I might not always be

able to completely unplug mentally from the concernsof the day. But still, the words themselves are biblicaland holy.”

So I ask each and every one of myBrother Knights, your families andfriends, to join us every thirdThursday of the month to experiencethe power of prayer. Also, pleaseread the “History of the Rosary”on pg. 7

Saints of the Month

Born circa 1181, in Assisi, duchy of Spoleto, Italy, Saint Francis of Assisi, though revered today,began his life as a confirmed sinner, and was renowned for drinking and partying in his youth.His father was a wealthy cloth merchant who owned farmland around Assisi, and his motherwas a beautiful Frenchwoman. Francis was not in want during his youth; he was spoiled,indulging himself with fine food, wine, and wild celebrations. By age 14, he had left schooland become known as a rebellious teenager who frequently drank, partied and broke thecity curfew. He was also known for his charm and vanity.In these privileged surroundings, Francis of Assisi learned the skills of archery, wrestling andhorsemanship. He was expected to follow his father into the family textile business but was

bored by the prospect of life in the cloth trade. Instead of planning a future as a merchant, he began daydreamingof a future as a knight; knights were Medieval action heroes, and if Francis had any ambition, it was to be a warhero like them. It wouldn't be long before the opportunity for warfare beckoned. After fighting in a battle betweenAssisi and Perugia, Francis was captured and imprisoned for ransom. He spent nearly a year in prison — awaitinghis father's payment — and, according to legend, began receiving visions from God. After his release from prison,Francis heard the voice of Christ, who told him to repair the Christian Church and live a life of poverty. Consequently,he abandoned his life of luxury and became a devotee of the faith, his reputation spreading all over the Christianworld.Later in life, Francis reportedly received a vision that left him with the stigmata of Christ — marks resembling thewounds Jesus Christ suffered when he was crucified — making Francis the first person to receive such holy wounds.He was canonized as a saint on July 16, 1228. During his life he also developed a deep love of nature and animalsand is known as the patron saint of the environment and animals; his life and words have had a lasting resonancewith millions of followers across the globe. Each October, many animals the world over are blessed on his feastday.

Sister Mary Faustina, an apostle of the Divine Mercy, belongs today to the group of the mostpopular and well-known saints of the Church. Through her the Lord Jesus communicates to theworld the great message of God's mercy and reveals the pattern of Christian perfection basedon trust in God and on the attitude of mercy toward one's neighbors.

She was born on August 25, 1905 in Poland of a poor and religious family of peasants, the thirdof ten children. She was baptized with the name Helena. From a very tender age she stood outbecause of her love of prayer, work, obedience, and also her sensitivity to the poor. At the ageof nine she made her first Holy Communion living this moment very profoundly in her awareness

of the presence of the Divine Guest within her soul. She attended school for three years. At the age of sixteenshe left home and went to work as a housekeeper in order to find the means of supporting herself and of helpingher parents.

At the age of seven she had already felt the first stirrings of a religious vocation. After finishing school, she wantedto enter the convent but her parents would not give her permission. Called during a vision of the Suffering Christ,on August 1, 1925 she entered the Congregation of the Sisters of Our Lady of Mercy and took the name SisterMary Faustina. She lived in the Congregation for thirteen years and lived in several religious houses.

Externally nothing revealed her rich mystical interior life. She zealously performed her tasks and faithfullyobserved the rule of religious life. She was recollected and at the same time very natural, serene and full ofkindness and disinterested love for her neighbor. Although her life was apparently insignificant, monotonousand dull, she hid within herself an extraordinary union with God.

The mission of the Blessed Sr. Mary Faustina was recorded in her Diary which she kept at the specific requestof the Lord Jesus and her confessors. In it, she recorded faithfully all of the Lord Jesus' wishes and also describedthe encounters between her soul and Him.

History of the Rosary

The Early Origins of the Rosary

The rosary has roots in several early Christian prayer traditions. They share similar formats to the rosary withrepetitive structures and prayers. Third-century Christian hermits and monks in Egypt (known as Desert Fathers)used stones and later prayer ropes to keep track when praying the 150 Psalms. Various forms of “the JesusPrayer” (such as “Lord Jesus Christ, Son of God, have mercy on me.”) became popular. The short prayer wassaid over and over again in a type of mantra while counting beads.

The Hail Mary prayer came together slowly. It took more than a thousand years. The earliest version simplyadded Mary’s name to the message delivered by the angel Gabriel to Mary: “Hail Mary, full of grace, the Lordis with thee” (Luke 1:28).

Around 1050 AD, the words Elizabeth used to greet Mary during the Visitation were added: “Blessed art thouamong women, and blessed is the fruit of thy womb” (Luke 1:42). In 1261, Pope Urban IV added the name ofJesus to the end of Elizabeth’s words. St. Peter Canisius published the Hail Mary in his 1555 Catechism withalmost the entire final petition: “Holy Mary, Mother of God, pray for us sinners.” Eleven years later, theCatechism of the Council of Trent (a work that Canisius was instrumental in creating) included, for the first time,the entire final petition, concluding with the words “now and at the hour of our death. Amen.” The version ofthe Hail Mary we pray today was given official approval in 1568.

The Story of St. Dominic

It is widely believed that in 1214 St. Dominic had a vision of Mary. She is said to have presented him with therosary, both the beads and the prayers to be prayed. Dominic had a tremendous devotion to Mary and therosary, which he promoted wherever he traveled to preach. He encouraged Catholics to gather in small groupsto pray together what was an early form of the rosary together. These were quite possibly the first expressionsof the prayer groups and small group communities that are still having a powerful impact today.

The Fatima Prayer

On May 13, 1917, Mary appeared to three shepherd children in Fatima, Portugal. She told them to come backto that exact place on the 13th day of each month for the next six months. Mary promised she would appearto them each time and entrust a message to them. Mary told the children to pray for world peace by recitingthe rosary every day. On July 13, 1917, Mary asked the children to add a short prayer to the end of each decadeof the rosary: “Oh my Jesus, save us from the fires of hell, lead all souls to Heaven, especially those in mostneed of thy mercy”.

The Mysteries of the Rosary

The mysteries of the rosary were introduced by Dominic of Prussia sometime between 1410 and 1439. Thisgave each decade of the rosary a unique quality. Each mystery leads us to ponder very specific events in thelives of Jesus and Mary and the lessons they hold for our own lives today.

There were originally three sets of mysteries: the Joyful Mysteries, the Sorrowful Mysteries, and the GloriousMysteries. On October 16, 2002, almost 600 years after the original Mysteries of the rosary were established,Pope John Paul II proposed adding a new set of mysteries called the Luminous Mysteries (the Mysteries of Light).

The Rosary and You.

The rosary is an incredibly rewarding spiritual practice for the men and women of any age, and all ages. It is likean ancient treasure map that has led countless men and women from all walks of life to the treasures of peace,joy, clarity, and contentment. But don’t take our word for it. Try it for yourself.

Faithful Sir Knights,

Congratulations to Sir Knight Aelred Pereira for winning the Opportunity Drawing at our August Businessmeeting. Aelred, being a gracious as he is, donated his winnings back to the Assembly. I want thank himfor his generosity.

Our 9-11 Tribute on September 11, 2019 was a huge success. We received many favorable comments and it wasa great opportunity for us as an Assembly to be able to honor all our local 1st Responders, our Military, and to paytribute to all those individuals who lost their lives on 9/11, 2001. I want to give a huge thank you for the hard workthat the 9-11 Committee did that made the tribute a success. I want to thank our Master of Ceremony, Jim Adee,our Faithful Captain Anthony Carangelo, Sir Knight Chris Williams, PFN Larry Berry, Sir Knight Ron Thornton, SirKnight John Olsen, Fr. Ed Fitzgerald, Ellen Dekleva and all the Sir Knights who assisted thatmorning during set-upand take down that evening. We were able to keep our expensive under budget. Thank you for all the hard workto make this event, successful.

On September 14, 2019 our Honor Guard under the direction of Past Faithful Navigator LarryBerry took part in aMass of a Day of Remembrance Service. It is a Pro life National Prayer day for the babies who have been aborted.
