UNITY is peace centered in God

For the sake of my brothers, I say, “”May peace be within you.’’ 
~ Psalm 122:8

Sometimes TV reporters ask insensitive questions of people who have just suffered a tragedy.  For example, John Cogan, a cancer victim, was asked how he felt about dying. 

He stunned the reporter saying, “There’s a joy deep down inside me that I can’t express.

I feel perfectly free . . . . I want to reach out and embrace the whole universe.”

Tragedy had set before John Cogan the choice of life and death in the ultimate sense of the word.  He chose life – eternal life.
~ Mark Link, S.J.

How can we accept unfortunate circumstances of our life?  How can we help brother knights and their families when they face the
imminent reality of death and help them see eternal life?  How will you know when you’ve achieved true peace in your heart?

I am the resurrection and the life; whoever believes in me, even if he dies, will live, and everyone who lives and believes in me will never die. ~ John 11:25-26
