Knights, our good bishop has called on the pastors of our diocese to lead the faithful in acts of reparation in response to the outrageous and blasphemous display of the Olympic ceremonies. Sadly, these openly demonic displays are more common and more broadly accepted by the world today. A sign of our times, for sure.

I call you all to continue to make these acts of reparation more fervently and even daily, if possible. Our weekly Thursday evening Holy Hour of Reparation is certainly the best way to make these important sacrafices, but as a knight, if you can do more then you must!

I remind you of the acts of reparations available on our website that can be done at any time. Also, our bishop has suggested the solemn and public praying of the penetential Psalms, i.e. Psalms 6, 31 (32), 37 (38), 50 (51), 101 (102), 129 (130), 142 (143). Remember Wednesdays and Fridays as days of fasting and abstaining, and specific acts of charity, requiring extra effort may also be made in reparation for these blasphemous acts.

Make your contributions according to your conscience and ability, but whatever you do and how often you make them, do it all with humility and purity of heart. Our Lord is continuously tormented by our sins and rejection of His love. The Knights of the Golden Arrow must defend!

Deus vult!
