Dear Fellow Knights and Dames,
On Ash Wednesday, we received ashes as a reminder that we belong to God and will return to Him. We talked about what we were “giving up” for Lent, chocolate, wine, or perhaps the opposite, doing something more spiritual. Little did we realize that our Lenten journey would take on an entirely different direction and meaning. We’ve been asked to make changes in our daily lives, not go out, stay at home. Unsettling times for sure.
We have cancelled the Mid Year meetings and other events scheduled for March and are evaluating those scheduled for April and May. Following the guidelines set forth by your Diocese and local government, your Area Councillors will be in contact regarding future events. If you have any questions, please let us know.
In this Sunday’s gospel, Jesus stops at the well and asks for water from the Samaritan woman. During these challenging times, we remember that God is our living water, giving us strength. He calls us to Him, to rely on Him, that He is the center of our lives.
As members of Holy Sepulchre, we are called to serve, help our fellow Christians in the Holy Land. That call to serve includes all our fellow man. Today, our world needs His strength. We pray for God’s guidance and send our prayers to all who are suffering, whether it be over the loss of a loved one, their own health, or uncertainty over the future.
May Our Blessed Mother hold us in her arms as she did her suffering son.
Deus Lo Vult,
H.E. Margaret Romano, DGCHS
