Memorial Day 2025
In a world where war and fighting are a daily occurrence, often caused by ethnic or territorial disputes, Memorial Day invites us to pause and to pray fervently for peace and an understanding of the many cultural and ethnic customs that shape our society.
May world leaders have the wisdom and Divine Guidance to find peaceful solution through diplomatic communication and by listening to each other with respect.
The history of Memorial Day is an interesting development as various articles on Wikipedia affirm. Take a few minutes and google the topic.
As a nation, we honor all those men and women of the Armed Forces who gave their life in the service of our country. We thank God for their commitment to protect and defend our country. We honor them for their sacrifice and mourn their death!
Blessings of peace and hope!
Br. Tobias, OSB
and all the monks of Christ the King Priory
PS: We will soon enter the month of June, dedicated to the Sacred Heart of Jesus. You and all our friends will soon receive a special message, together with the appeal to help us in educating monastics. Thanks for not ignoring the mailing!
