Dear friends, this night let our faith be awakened for it is the night of the Resurrection, the night of our deliverance.

We enter into the Kairos of Christ, the hour of his death so that when the hour of our death arrives, he will know us and welcome us, because we have loved others as he first loved us.

What unfolds this night before our eyes of faith? What is it that we see, not with physical sight, but with eyes of our soul?

To all of you, the Scriptures, the Blessing of Oils, and the Eucharist itself say: “Be rooted and grounded in love!” (Eph. 3:17).

He was and is our Priest and King, not because of we can do for him but rather what he would do for us.

As members of the family of the Knights of Columbus, we support one another in our baptismal calling to be courageous Christians, Catholics who profess the Faith openly, and do so without counting the cost.

While we may have flashes of inspiration and conversion experiences, truly knowing Jesus is a lifetime project, or better, the project of a lifetime.

With confidence and hope, we the Knights of Columbus celebrate our 140th anniversary, looking towards that day when Blessed Michael McGivney will be canonized.

And my fondest, deepest prayer on this Sunday of rejoicing is that each of you, and every member of the Archdiocese, whether active or inactive, will experience God’s loving and merciful embrace in the Sacrament of Reconciliation sometime before the approaching feast of Easter, even as many are preparing to be baptized and received into the Church.

As we join in this Act of Consecration, let us pray that we ourselves we will consecrated anew to the Lord, so that in the challenges and setbacks of life, we may respond as did Mary, “be it done to me according to Thy Word”.
