Programming Information to Increase your Service Activity
In the Gospel of Matthew (MT 25:35-40), Our Lord tells us some of the criteria for getting into Heaven: For I was hungry and you gave me food, I was thirsty and you gave me drink… He went on and on eventually saying, …Whatsoever you did for one of these least brothers of mine, you did for me… I’ve always tried to be a good guy helping others whenever I could, but I wondered if I was doing enough. I didn’t want to arrive at the Pearly Gates and hear, “Nice try, Ron, but not good enough. Hell is that way. Get going.” | When I joined the Knights, I learned that working together with like-minded people, Our Lord can multiply the good we do like He multiplied the loaves and the fishes. For instance, I’ve given 12 ultrasound machines to pregnancy care centers. I could never afford to do this alone, but with the Knights, it’s entirely possible. I tell my brother Knights that every time one of our machines saves a baby from abortion, we all benefit from the resulting graces. Whatsoever you did for one of these least brothers of mine,… Each of these programs is designed to help us enable Our Lord to multiply the good we do working with others for the benefit of as many as possible. Let’s get all the extra points we can before we get to the Pearly Gates. |

Life Programs
State of NH Life Director
During this past year I have been spiritually pursuing a new mission along with Dick Kiernan, leader of The NH Alliance, Jason Hennessy, NH Right to Life, Deacon Fran Burke, Church Ambassador, Cornerstone NH, and Lindsay Hyvonen, Executive Director of Real Options. We have created this truly historic new mission and state-wide network in NH called “Whole Life Gospel Alliance.”
This mission will be focused on valuing all life from conception to natural death, because we are all made in the image of God! We will be gathering ministries of all kinds to care for “pre-born children, orphans, widows, aliens, poor, homeless, imprisoned, handicapped, elderly, and the least and lost,” because God loves everyone and no one can be left out!
Our anchor verse is Luke 4:18-19---Jesus’ mission is to bring good news to set the captives free:
“The Spirit of the Lord is on me, because he has anointed me to preach good news to the poor. He has sent me to proclaim freedom for the prisoners and recovery of sight for the blind, to release the oppressed, to proclaim the year of the Lord’s favor.” (Luke 4:18-19)
