Today, we pause in reverent gratitude to remember and celebrate all who have served in the United States Armed Forces. Their courage, sacrifice, and unwavering devotion have safeguarded the freedoms we hold dear.

Each veteran, known and unknown, stood watch so that we might live, worship, and walk beneath the blanket of freedom they so bravely secured.

For every moment of fear faced in the field, every tear shed in separation, and every life laid down for the sake of peace—our hearts bow in h...  more

Dear Templar Brothers and Sisters,

I want to remind you about our upcoming OMSDT Bible Study session, scheduled for Sunday, November 9, 2025, at 9:00 PM EST.

During this session, we will discuss the Book of Proverbs. The Book of Proverbs in the Bible is a collection of wise sayings and teachings focused on practical guidance for living a righteous, prudent, and successful life. Its central theme is that the “fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom,” encouraging readers to seek moral and sp...  more
Above all else, guard your heart, for everything you do flows from it.

Chaplain Morris,
Welcome to the Chaplain’s Corps. I am in the process of creating a monthly schedule for us to meet and discuss any projects or concerns that affect the spiritual, and emotional well-being of our Templar Brothers and Sisters.

Please note any items tmyou wish to present. Lastly, GP has identified a cleric who may be a good fit to join us in this important undertaking.

GOD Bless You. Thank you for your willingness to help. It is truly to have you onboard.

The journey becomes less burdensome when we uncover purpose within the struggle. Each challenge, though heavy and uncertain, carries the potential to shape our character and strengthen our spirit. When we find meaning in what we endure, pain transforms into growth, and hardship becomes a teacher rather than an enemy. It is in those moments of clarity—when our suffering aligns with a greater purpose—that the path ahead feels lighter and our steps more certain.

All Souls Day invites us into quiet communion with those who have journeyed beyond this life. It is a reminder that God’s mercy bridges the seen and unseen; the faithful departed remain within the fold of divine love. As we pray for their purification and peace, we also confront our own need for conversion — to live more gently and love more deeply.

The Church’s remembrance today is not sorrowful, but hopeful: death does not end the bond of charity, and prayer unites heaven and earth. In contem...  more
It's not about perfection; it's about putting in your best effort every day. When you commit to that daily effort, fundamental transformation begins. That's how actual change happens. Keep pushing forward, and always remember why you started.

St. Bernard of Clairvaux tells us: “However great may be the temptation, if we know how to use the weapon of prayer well, we shall come off as conquerors at last, for prayer is more powerful than all the demons.”
