JUNE 2026: REFLECTION
SPOONS ARE ENERGY!🥄⚡
The “Spoon Theory” teaches that every task needs a spoon to complete.🥄
A healthy person starts their day with more spoons than they could ever use — enough energy to move through tasks without thinking twice. But for someone living with an illness, each spoon is precious because they begin their day with so few.☀️
Washing, getting dressed, making breakfast, answering a message, even coming to Mass — each one costs a spoon. Every spoon they spend is an act of courage and intention. None of it is small. In their quiet, everyday way, it’s heroic. Because when their spoons run out, so does their strength.🤷🏻♂️🥄
This is why even a simple question like “How are you today?” can feel hard to answer. Some days, the honest truth is that they’re already running low on spoons.🥄😕
The shield is their strength, the spoons on the shield is their identity and resilience, the cross and rosary is their faith, the spoons on the calendar is their daily cost of limited energy.🛡️🥄
This is a picture of faith, courage, and endurance — and as Knights, we are called to keep these brothers and sisters close to our hearts. A small act of charity — one spoon from us — may be the extra spoon they desperately need.🥄🛡️⚡
