KNIGHTS OF SAINT JOSEPH Men, the season of Lent is fast approaching and why not take the month of February as an opportunity to do a thorough house cleaning of our spiritual lives be- fore Lent begins. Many of our mothers and wives en- gage routinely in spring house cleaning and figuratively and/or literally kick to the curb unwanted items that gather dust or impede the keeping an orderly home for
proved remedy by Our Lord and King, Jesus Christ, is to start by availing one’s self to the Sacrament of Con- fession after conducting a thorough self-examination of
the Blessed Sacrament, Lectio Divina and performing acts of self-mortification to weed out as it were those sinful imperfections which separate us from being in the state of sanctifying grace. The Knights of St. Joseph pray that men, women and children use the month of February to build grace upon grace as befits their voca- tion in life. Come join the Knights of St. Joseph for their even- ing of prayer on Friday, February 7, from 6:00 to 7:30 pm, at St. James the Less (1032 Caledonia St). Our eve- nings start by praying the Angelus, Exposing the Blessed Sacrament, praying both Evening and Night Prayer from the Liturgy of the Hours. During our peri-
Martyr and what martyrdom entails. The evening con- cludes with Benediction. Men, kindly extend the invita- tion to your fathers and sons as well as those who are in your sphere of influence.
