A Knight's Walk in the Kingdom

How One American Catholic Family Man Sees His World – "Lord, show me your ways. Teach me to walk in your footsteps."

• November 2009

  Monthly Intentions of the Holy Father -

  General: That all the men and women in the world, especially those who have responsibilities in the field of politics and economics, may never fail in their commitment to safeguard creation.

  Missionary: That believers in the different religions, through the testimony of their lives and fraternal dialogue, may clearly demonstrate that the name of God is a bearer of peace.

  Monthly Dedication: Souls in Purgatory

  Merciful Father, hear our prayers and console us. As we renew our faith in your Son, whom you raised from the dead, strengthen our hope that all our departed brothers and sisters will share in his resurrection, who lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit, one God, for ever and ever. Amen.
