Let's face it, we can't do anything of real, lasting value without prayer. It just won't happen. Our lives as Catholic men must be based on knowing Jesus. That "knowing" is not based on any program, or structure, or even any teaching. It is based on our relationship with a person, with Jesus Christ, the Son of God. Prayer, put very simply, is where we get to know Jesus, and where we build a relationship with him. If we don't give time to prayer, that relationship with Jesus, and the gift of the Holy Spirit that he gives to us when we are joined to him, is not going to be there. And without that Spirit guiding us, we might as well be building castles in the sand; nothing of lasting value, eternal value, will come of it.
As Knights, we draw on the Church's immensly rich tradition of prayer to grow in our relationship with Christ. We are, first and foremost, men of the mass. We follow Jesus's own words, to "eat my flesh" and "drink my blood." We go to the Eucharist to hear His Word, and receive His very Body and Blood, so that we can be formed, Sunday by Sunday, day by day, more fully into His image and likeness.
We also, as Knights, take seriously Jesus's words from the cross as he gave his mother Mary to the disciple John as his mother, our Mother. For this reason, we take the Rosary very seriously. We know that Mary is the best guide to come to know her son and the mysteries of his life.
Prayer is something that the Knights take very seriously. Come discover some of the rich traditions we have as Catholic men!
