I am a 4th degree Knight of Columbus (aka the "Patriotic Degree").  The recent election is a source of  distress for me and many Catholics but Sr. Schenck has reminded ALL Catholics that "Today, we are called to stand our ground and let God's holy, creative Spirit hover over us and do her work within us once again. Then we will know how to come to the aid of suffering peoples in the U.S. and around the world."
While many were caught up in the personalities running for Office we are reminded and MUST remember (as Sr.Schenck states) that "no beleaguered movement for social justice has ever succeeded without suffering, solidarity and sacrifice." I plan to keep fighting the "good fight" and pray that we all do the same.
