A meaningful celebration of Easter takes us into a Merv Albert (Mary Jane) deeper mediation of Three-Dimensional philosophy of our 713-899-1513 Christian journey.

The death of Jesus was witnessed and confirmed in Larry Hogan (Barbara) 281-772-8958 various ways; and that was important, because there is no resurrection with- [email protected] out death. The resurrection can be confirmed if only death is confirmed; and Treasurer the evangelists clearly mention his burial, then the empty tomb that leads to Hugh McCrea (Theresa) affirm the resurrection. 281-370-0023 [email protected] Towards a personal experience of resurrection, it is important that we Recorder encounter the empty tomb of Christ. Mary Magdalene, initially, expressed Chuck Stancil (Terri) disappointment at the empty tomb; but the next moment her knowledge lead 281-433-3461 her to another fundamental question; where is Jesus, if he is not in the [email protected] Warden tomb! Then we find in the scriptures Peter and John witnessing the empty Eugene “Smitty” Schmidt (Paula) tomb.

The Richard Carter (Cindy) 713-253-8482 definition presented was; “Disciples habitually worship, [email protected] grow, serve, give, share their faith, live virtuously and Mike Velez build community.” What struck me about this description 832-876-2369 [email protected] is how it describes what a Knight is or should be working Trustee—1 year toward. In working with and observing my brothers at Gary Maly (Deborah) 8482 and other Councils, I see many examples of disciples. Some, perhaps, 713-857-7267 more than others. As we close in on the last days of Lent I will be thinking [email protected] about discipleship and how I can be a better disciple. From a personal view- Trustee—2 year Jim Schier (Andi) point I need to work harder on all of these attributes. But if I just picked two 832-647-8696 which need the most work, my prayer life is not nearly where it should be [email protected] and I don’t share my faith nearly as much as I should. Perhaps you also have Trustee—3 year one or two things that need more work. Lent is a perfect time to get started Fernando Flores (Dee Dee) 281-468-2854 on these.

Jim did not simply find a band and determine a ticket price but created attractive sponsorship opportunities Year 2020 which ensured the success of the night. He put together a Larry LaHaie (Melinda) team who handled all the duties with efficiency. He captured all the income and expenses and reported them immediately Smitty Schmidt (Paula) after the event. Most importantly to me as your Grand Knight, Bill Vacek (Mary) Jim did 99% of the work only asking me to sign a letter and Year 2021 send out an email reminder. Jim helps during the week at Prince of Peace on a volunteer basis. Jim also took on the task Vince Bonura (Patricia) of chairing the Alpha program meals provided by the Knights. John Adams (Pam) He coordinated with Vince Bonura to do three Alpha meals in the fall and two in February of this year. Prince of Peace ap- proached Jim about the need to find a host for the first Fellow- ship Sonday in January. Working with Jim Vossler and Jim’s cook team the Council was able to put on a pancake breakfast.

PHILIP DE LAS CASAS was born in the city of Mexico. Brought up piously, Philip at first showed little care for the pious teaching of his parents, but at last resolved to enter the Reformed Franciscan Convent of Santa Barbara at Pueblo. He was not yet weaned from the world and soon left the novitiate. Grieved at the inconstancy of his son, de las Casas sent him to the Philippine Islands on a business errand. In vain did Philip seek to satisfy his heart with pleasure. He could not but feel that God called him to a religious life. Gaining courage by prayer, he entered the Franciscan Convent of Our Lady of the Angels at Manila, and persevered, taking his vows in 1594. The richest cargo that he could have sent to Mexico would not have gratified his pious father as much as the tidings that Philip was a professed friar.
