Saint John Paul’s Prayer For Peace

Lord Jesus Christ, who are called the Prince of Peace, who are yourself our peace and reconciliation,

who so often said, "Peace to you," grant us peace.

Make all men and women witnesses of truth, justice, and brotherly love.

Banish from their hearts whatever might endanger peace.

Enlighten our rulers that they may guarantee and defend the great gift of peace.

May all peoples on the earth become as brothers and sisters.

May longed for peace blossom forth and reign always over us all.

- Pope John Paul II

For the Good of the Order

SK Joseph Lepre, SK Ralph Archuleta, SK Ray Montoya

God Almighty, Heavenly Father, Physician of our souls and bodies, You, who sent Your only-begotten Son, Our Lord, Jesus Christ, to heal every

sickness and infirmity, visit and heal also Your sick and distressed Knights and their beloved from all physical and spiritual ailments.

Through the Grace of the Holy Spirit, grant these Knights and their

beloved, patience in their sickness, strength of body and spirit, and recovery of health. Lord, You have taught us through Your Word to pray for each other that we may be healed. We pray, heal your servants and grant to

them the gift of complete health.

For You are the source of healing and to You we give glory, Father, Son and Holy Spirit, Amen!

Father Michael J. McGivney Guild

The Father Michael J. McGivney Guild promotes the cause for sainthood of the founder of the Knights of

Columbus, who will be beatified on Oct. 31, 2020. Members of the Guild, and anyone devoted to Father

McGivney, can play an active role in the cause by praying for his intercession in times of need, especially in

cases of serious illness, and reporting to the Guild any favors received.

Membership in the Guild is free and open to anyone who is devoted to Father McGivney and wishes to

invoke his intercession and assist in his sainthood cause through prayer. Members receive a quarterly

newsletter and are remembered in a weekly Mass offered for their intentions.

Catholic men who wish to live out the vision and mission of Father McGivney are invited to join the

Knights of Columbus and become part of a network of charity, unity and fraternity that serves local parishes

and communities.

Father McGivney founded the Knights of Columbus in 1882 in New Haven, Conn., and died at the age of

38 in 1890. His cause for sainthood was opened in 1997, and his heroic virtue was recognized by the

Vatican in March 2008, when he was declared a Venerable Servant of God by Pope Benedict XVI.

On May 26, 2020, Father McGivney took another step toward sainthood when Pope Francis approved the

promulgation of a decree recognizing a miracle attributed to his intercession. With the approval of this

miracle, he will be beatified on Oct. 31, 2020, with the title of Blessed.

Another miracle through his intercession is needed for him to be canonized as a saint.

Those devoted to Father McGivney are encouraged to recite regularly the prayer for his canonization, which

is available online and on a special prayer card. You may Report Favors through this website or by email or

regular mail at the addresses listed below.

The Guild has more than 175,000 members, and you are encouraged to join by filling out and submitting

the online form. Please assist in the cause of Father McGivney by spreading the word about this holy and

blessed priest.

Supreme Knight's Annual Report

It is our fraternal approach to charity and our fraternal approach to unity that

makes us so different from other charitable organizations, said Supreme Knight

Carl Anderson.

He highlighted past achievements and new initiatives, such as more than 540,000

units of blood donated and nearly $5 million in combined disaster relief, while

stressing the importance of the Knights’ commitment to Christian brotherhood.

Supreme Knight Anderson shares these achievements, and so much more, in his

annual report.

Lord, make me an instrument of Your Peace: Where there is hatred, let

me sow love; Where there is injury,

pardon; Where there is doubt,

faith; Where there is despair,

hope; Where there is darkness,

light; And where there is

sadness, joy.

O Divine Master, Grant that I may not so much

seek To be consoled as to console;

To be understood, as to understand;

To be loved, as to love;

For it is in giving that we receive, It is in pardoning

that we are pardoned,

And it is in dying that we are born to Eternal Life.

Amen

The government’s own definition attests to the fact

that life begins at fertilization. According to the National

Institutes of Health, “fertilization” is the process of

union of two gametes (i.e., ovum and sperm) “whereby the somatic chromosome number

is restored and the development of a new individual is initiated.”

Culture of Life

From Brother Curt Kuper

Hello! My name is Rachel Keller and I am the new vice-president for Project Defending Life!

I am working with Mr. Curt Kuper on the 40 Days for Life campaign this Fall and am so excited because I know how powerful it is and how many lives are changed as a result of our peaceful, prayerful witness to the beauty of life.

I understand that the 40 Days for Life campaign usually starts with an opening rally, but unfortunately, we will not be able to gather in a large group this year. Instead, we are asking all the churches who are participating in the 40 Days of peaceful prayer and fasting to dedicate their Mass/church service on the Sunday prior to the beginning of the campaign (Sunday, September 20th) to the sanctity of life and the success of this campaign!

In my prayer this year, this one scripture has come up time and again, so I thought I would share it with you all as an encouragement for our collective efforts throughout these 40 Days:

“And be not conformed to this world: but be reformed in the newness of your mind, that you may prove what is the good and the acceptable and the perfect will of God.” –Romans 12:2.

May we always remember that every good thing comes from the Lord and rejoice in hope for the goodness to come! May we begin these 40 Days in peace and joy and experience a daily reformation of our hearts and minds. And may we be steadfast in seeking what is the perfect will of God.

God bless you all; I’ll see you on the sidewalk!

In Christ,

Rachel Keller Vice President, Project Defending Life vp@defendinglife.org

Letter to Mommy and Daddy

after Abortion

Mommy... why did you hurt

me?

Daddy did you know?

Why didn't you fight for my

life?

Jesus said I would have looked

just like you

Your hair, your eyes, and even

your smile

I know you didn't mean it

Mommy

Daddy I know you love me.

Daddy, you will never get to

see me

You'll miss my first words,

you'll miss me fall and get

up.

Mommy, you'll never get to

comb my hair or paint my nails,

you'll miss me go to

kindergarten

You guys will miss my whole

life And I will to....

But don't worry, I am with

Jesus now.... Next time think

about what you are doing, and

who you are hurting,

I AM A PERSON

Mommy, Daddy, I love you,

wish you would have

loved me too

God, our Father, protector of the poor and defender of the widow and orphan, you called your priest, Father Michael J. McGivney, to be an apostle of Christian family life and to lead the young to the generous service of their neighbor. Through the example of his life and virtue

may we follow your Son, Jesus Christ, more closely, fulfilling his commandment of charity and building up his Body which is the Church. Let the inspiration of your servant prompt us to greater

confidence in your love so that we may continue his work of caring for the needy and the outcast. We humbly ask that you glorify your

venerable servant Father Michael J. McGivney on earth according to the design of your holy will. Through his intercession, grant the favor I

now present (here make your request). Through Christ our Lord. Amen.

Our Father, Hail Mary, Glory be to the Father

Knight’s Prayer

Our Lady, Queen of the Knights, bless all the activities of our Order. Keep us true to our pledge, to extend the kingship of thy divine son on

earth. Through Thine intercession, win for us the grace, ever to exemplify in our public and private lives, the virtues that should characterize those

especially dedicated to the service of the heavenly court. Make us always aware that as your Knights, we are constantly observed, our faith

judged, and our Order appreciated. Accept, O Mary, this renewed pledge of fealty and devotion, of Thy

Servants, the Knights of Columbus. http://www.kofc11768.org/?page_id=19
