FRATERNITY is a spirit of collective pride

How wonderful it is, how pleasant, for God’s people to live together in harmony!  ~ Psalm 133:1

Jerry Kramer was a star member of the legendary Green Bay Packers.  In his best-selling book, Instant Replay, he describes his feelings after a big win.  We rushed to the locker room… shouting and absolutely floating.  “Magnificent,” Coach Lombardi said… He couldn’t finish the sentence…  Tears started trickling down his cheek.  He just knelt down crying, and led us in the Our Father… 

The guys walked around the room, hugging each other…  I felt so good.  I felt so proud, proud of myself and proud of my teammates and proud of my coaches…  It sent a beautiful shiver up my back.  ~ Mark Link, S.J.

What was the closest you ever came to this same feeling of fellowship and fraternity with your Brother Knights?

In Christ there is no East or West,
In Him no South or North,
But one great fellowship of love
Throughout the whole wide earth.
~ Old hymn
