July's Devotion: the Precious Blood of Jesus
The month of July is dedicated to the Precious Blood. The feast of the Precious Blood of our Lord was instituted in 1849 by Pius IX, but the devotion is as old as Christianity. The early Fathers say that the Church was born from the pierced side of Christ, and that the sacraments were brought forth through His Blood. "The Precious Blood which we worship is the Blood which the Savior shed for us on Calvary and reassumed at His glorious Resurrection; it is the Blood which courses through the veins of His risen, glorified, living body at the right hand of God the Father in heaven; it is the Blood made present on our altars by the words of Consecration; it is the Blood which merited sanctifying grace for us and through it washes and beautifies our soul and inaugurates the beginning of eternal life in it." |
From the Assembly Color Corps Commander:
Assembly 4 Sir Knights,
1. There is still opportunity to purchase the uniform at "Knights Gears' reduced prices
2. There is a cutoff for wear of the current uniform
3. There is only one 4th Degree lapel pin allowed for wear (I have seen many different worn)
4. Social Baldrics will not have a future with this uniform
The reduced price may be extended which make me question, how can they reduce the price if they do not make any money on the item? If they reduce the price below cost, who is paying for that? I have not yet heard of purchasing separates (Jacket or slacks separate from the complete package) since none of us will gain or lose weight over the next 30 years - right? Lynch and Kelly or an alternate supplier is spoke about. I expect at least one other supplier. What about returns?? Anyway, 5 of your fellow Assembly Brothers have told me they are purchasing so we are almost at the Honor Guard level! So we will continue to support when called.
From the District Marshal:
Worthies,
Please see email from the District Master and attachment from the VSM. As many of you know they are enforcing the June 30, 2018 date for the Regalia. Those who wish to participate in a Color Corps, must wear the New Regalia.
Some key items:
For members who wish to join the 4th degree, only a dark suit, dark tie, black shoes, and white shirt will be required going forward, this could possibly be big for recruiting.
Members of the exemplification team will be required to either purchase the new regalia or use the ceremonial gowns.
Social Baldric will no longer be worn after the cutoff date and current regalia will not be worn either.
Supreme is considering extending the discount.
If you have any questions regarding anything mentioned in my email, the District Master's or the VSM's, please feel free to contact me.
Please feel free to send to your members.
From the District Master:
Worthies,
Attached is a letter I just received from VSM Ruh reference a conference call he was on today with Supreme Master Stoddard. Please read this and pass this information along to your membership. There has been must discussion and negative comments concerning the new uniform - after reading this letter, feel free to express your opinions, in a respectful manner, to the Supreme Master. We are at a major crossroads for the 4th degree, the introduction of the new uniform is having a major impact on the order, unfortunately in a negative way. I ask that you keep the core principles of the order in mind and ask your members to use their heads and not their emotions in their actions. As always, thank you all for what you do for the order and the church - I am always available to answer questions.
