“Peace be with you.” — John 20:19

In today’s Gospel, the risen Jesus appears to His disciples, who are gathered in fear behind locked doors. He speaks peace into their anxiety, shows them His wounds, and breathes the Holy Spirit upon them.

From that moment, their fear is transformed into mission. They are sent to forgive, to heal, and to share the mercy they have received.

Christ comes to us in the same way, entering our fears, offering His peace, and sending us out with His Spirit.

🙏 Lord, fill us with Your peace, and make us instruments of Your mercy in the world.

Today the Church observes the memorial of the Mexican martyrs, among them six priests who were members of the Knights of Columbus. When the Cristero War broke out 100 years ago, Catholics in Mexico faced increasing persecution and even martyrdom at the hands of the government. In the face of these difficulties, the Knights of Columbus mounted an international campaign to defend the rights of the Church, raising $1 million for a campaign to educate the public and assist those affected.

Pope Pius XI explicitly recognized the Order’s role in his encyclical Iniquis Afflictisque, published Nov. 18, 1926, in response to the persecution in Mexico: “First of all we mention the Knights of Columbus … made up of active and industrious members who, because of their practical lives and open profession of the Faith, as well as by their zeal in assisting the Church, have brought great honor upon themselves.”

Former Chicago radio legend Kevin Matthews had hit rock bottom when he stumbled upon a statue of the Blessed Mother, broken in half, beside a dumpster. As he recognized his own struggles and deep brokenness in the chipped statue, his perspective on life and faith changed. Matthews, a member of Bishop Plagens Council 3104 in Grand Rapids, Michigan, now travels the world with the image, sharing his personal testimony of hope and encouragement through the Broken Mary Project.

Congratulations to District Deputy Orin Garcia on graduating with the first class of McGivney Fellows.

Your brothers in Arizona are proud to call you “ours.”

Big moment for the future of leadership in the Knights of Columbus!

The very first class of McGivney Fellows has officially graduated—men who have spent the past two years growing in faith, sharpening their leadership, and preparing to serve with purpose.

The McGivney Fellowship is a leadership formation experience designed for faithful, engaged Knights of Columbus who demonstrate both spiritual depth and leadership potential. This year’s graduating class represents what happens when spiritual depth meets real-world leadership. And this is just the beginning.

Think you (or someone you know) might be called to something more? Applications are now open for the next cohort.

Connect with your state deputy to start the conversation or learn more at kofc.org/mcgivneyfellowship
