Some Thoughts on LentBy Fr. John H. R. Ellis The length of Jesus’, ordeal in the wilderness is believed to have been forty days, and this is the reason that the season of Lent is forty days long. There are many who question the appropriateness of present-day life of both the length of time and certain Lenten devotional practices. No doubt, in the

coming year there will continue to be an evolution in our Lenten customs and disciplines as newer and more effective forms of discipleship are recognized by the Church as being appropriate to the new age. The essential feature of this season, however, can never change — for it is central to the Christian life in any age. We do not keep Lent as a special period of religious discipline simply because it has become traditional, or because the Church tells us to do so. We keep Lent as we do everything else in the life of Faith, as our response to God’s love for us in Jesus Christ. The only right motive, for prayer, fasting, sacrificial giving or study is our deep desire to please God. There can be no other worthy reason for what we do than this: our longing to respond in love to that Love who first loved us. Once we realize that we must turn to the loving God, we begin to see our Lenten discipline not as a chore but as an opportunity. “Keeping Lent,” therefore, is no different from the challenge every Christian faces daily to respond anew to the call of Christ to take up the cross and follow Him whose yoke is easy and whose burden is light. Can there be a more appropriate time for us to show our faithfulness than in the weeks before Holy Week and Easter? The way, in which we respond to this opportunity may be traditional or, novel, intense or diffused throughout the forty days. The precise form of our Lenten devotion is of less importance than our motive in offering it. “The fact is that whether you eat or drink — whatever you do — you should do all for the glory of God.” (1 Cor 10: 31)

District Deputy ReportAs we begin the month of March, we thing of spring, and the renewal that it signifies. It is now time to reflect on the things we had intended to accomplish, and readjust our goals and desires. It is also time to recommit ourselves to our Church and our Order. Remember we are Knights of Columbus, and our goals are to support our Clergy through both time and treasure. The treasure we take care of through our contributions at Mass, and various Church functions that raise monies to assist those in need. We also contribute to our seminarians. We donate food to those less fortunate and in these trying times it is the difference of eating or going hungry for some families. Our time is the most precious gift we can give to our Church and our Community. We do this with various youth programs, visiting with our brothers and their family members in distress due to illness or other life changing events. Remember, don’t be just a card carrying Knight. Get up, get out and give a hand up.
VIVAT JESUS!

Congratulations to our newest Boyscouts having recently earned their Arrow of Light from Cub Scout Pack 662 at Saint Thomas Aquinas. Jared Wood, Joseph Hardin, Jacob Szlezak and Isaac Copenhaver. We also have five new boys from Holy Redeemer crossing over to Troop 662 from pack 826 in Kissimmee. As my time as Grand Knight starts to wind down, I look back at the wonderful things we've accomplished this year including the State Golf Tournament, the Turkey Drive, the Police and Fireman Social, the New Years Eve Party, the Clergy Social, Halloween and Christmas Party, the State Soccer competitions, the regional basketball competition and the upcoming State Spelling Bee.
We'll wrap it up with the Tootsie Roll Drive (Please Answer the phone when you get the call... we're behind on getting all of the arrangements, B U T I T I S H A P P E N I N G ! Also the Florida State Convention is coming up May 28-30 at the Renaissance Hotel across from Sea World. Any card carrying 3rd degree member can attend the convention while I and Bill Waggener will represent you as your delegates. There is a nice Ladies Luncheon that happens on Saturday, a super Banquet on Saturday evening where the Knight of the year is announced and a Breakfast on Sunday where the Council of the Year is announced for the state of Florida. You should come. Ask me or the Financial Secretary about tickets. Speaking of Financial Secretaries, I'd like to personally thank our former Financial Secretary PGK, PFN John "Pete" Bryant who has concluded his three tenure. I appreciate this journey we shared together and his guidance and mentorship. I am proud to announce that former Membership Director Bob Birchler has taken over the reins of Financial Secretary. We welcome his knowledge and love of the Knights. Please welcome Bob and thank Pete as you see them at Church or the hall. Howard Stevenson steps up as our Membership Director. He's doing a super job, especially with our Corporate Communions.
