Messages from the Grand Prelate

1. Ascension Day Obligatory Observance (PDF)

A burning taper in the life of our Commandery has been extinguished ...

God shall wipe all tears from their eyes;
and there shall be no more death, nor crying,
neither shall there be any more pain:
for the former things are passed away.

His sword, vowed to be drawn only
in the cause of truth, justice, and liberty,
reposes in its scabbard and our arms
can shield him no more.

 

 

The Lord's Prayer:

OUR FATHER WHICH ART IN HEAVEN,
HALLOWED BE THY NAME. THY KINGDOM COME.
THY WILL BE DONE IN EARTH, AS IT IS IN HEAVEN.
GIVE US THIS DAY OUR DAILY BREAD.
AND FORGIVE US OUR DEBTS, AS WE FORGIVE OUR DEBTORS.
AND LEAD US NOT INTO TEMPTATION, BUT DELIVER US FROM EVIL.
FOR THINE IS THE KINGDOM, AND THE POWER, AND THE GLORY, FOREVER.
AMEN.
