Sy Nguyen Dear Brother Knights, The order of earthly creation is as follows: shapeless abyss, day and night, the sky, land and sea, vegetation, the stars, animals living in water, animals living in the sky, land animals, human beings. Of all creation, hu- man beings are the only creatures made in the image and likeness of God. This means that the order of crea- tion progresses from least to most favorite of God. Of the two first human beings, Adam and Eve, and God created Eve after Adam. This means that womenfolk are the more favorite of God. Have you ever thought of your wife that way? Have you ever thought of women this way? It takes real men to look at women with the respect their dignity deserves. But Eve is not the last new creation of God, it is the Blessed Virgin Mary. She is womankind made anew, with the pristine innocence that Eve had before the fall. She is indeed the most beautiful creature of God, the last in the order of creation, thus, the most favorite creation of God. Men who have devotion to her will cer- tainly be pleasing to God. The month of August is traditionally dedicated to the devotion of the Immaculate Heart of Mary. A man who often glances prayerfully at the Immaculate Heart will have his own heart puri- fied. Immaculate Heart of Mary, pray for us! Your Faithful Friar, Rev. Sy Nguyen Saint John Paul II consecrated the world to Mary's Immaculate Heart in 1984. Addressing Our Lady, he said, "You who have a mother's awareness of all the struggles between good and evil, be- tween light and darkness, which afflict the modern world, accept the cry which we ... address directly to your Heart. Embrace with the love of the Mother and Handmaid of the Lord, this human world of ours, which we entrust and consecrate to you ... We have recourse to your protection, holy Mother of God!" He went on to say, "Immaculate Heart! Help us to conquer the menace of evil, which so easily takes root in the hearts of people today ... ." And he asked Mary to deliver us from famine, from war, from sins against life, from hatred and every kind of injustice, and even from the loss of awareness of good and evil. He then asked that, through this consecration, there be revealed to the world once more "the power of merciful Love!"
