LENTEN REFLECTIONS by Pope Francis*
Fourth Sunday of Lent “Whoever loves father or mother more than me is not wor-
thy of me.”~ Matthew 10:37
Jesus underscores two essential aspects for the life of a missionary disciple: the first, that his bond with Jesus is stronger than any other bond; the second, that the mis-sionary brings not himself, but Jesus, and through Him the love of the heavenly Fa-ther. These two aspects are connected, because the more Jesus is at the center of the heart and of the life of a disciple, the more this disciple is transparent to his presence. The two go hand in hand. The condition of a disciple demands an all-absorbing relationship with the teacher. Perhaps the first question that we must ask is: “Do you meet with Jesus? Do you pray to Jesus?” Those whoallow them-selves to be drawn into this bond of love and of life with the Lord Jesus become his representatives, his ambassadors, above all in their way of living, to the point that Jesus himself, in sending his disciples on mission, says to them: “Whoever welcomes you welcomes me, and whoever welcomes me welcomes the one who sent me.” (Mt 10:40). It is important that the people be able to perceive that for a disciple Jesus is truly “the Lord.” He is truly the center of his or her life.
What has most helped me strengthen my bond of love with Jesus this Lent?

Faith – Family – Parish - Charity - Unity. We believe that a man is more than simply a man, when he bears the title of “Knight.”
That he is defined by his actions as a follower of God and as a leader in his community. That he is thought of, and relied upon, as a spiritual leader by his family and in his parish.
Listen to your call to be part of a surging Catholic man’s spiritual movement. The call of the Knights is your call.
Put Your Faith in Action.
“And I sought for a man among them who should build up the wall and stand in the breach before me for the land…” EZEKIEL 22:30
Meetings held monthly on the 1st and 3rd Wednesdays at 8:00 p.m. at the Silveri Center, entrance at the rear of St. Dominic Chapel.
