Hello, brother Chris, I know you're a new member and posting on BB is a bit of a learning curve. It is best to make your posts in the OMSDT Worldwide group and/or your Priory group. This ensures that more members will see them. When you post them to your own page, like this post was, it may not be seen by very many members. I created a guide to posting. You may find the .pdf document by clicking HOME above and then choosing Document Browse Pages or view the info in the flip manual at this link. ... moreHello, brother Chris, I know you're a new member and posting on BB is a bit of a learning curve.

Ephesians 6:10-11 (KJV):
“Finally, my brethren, be strong in the Lord, and in the power of his might. Put on the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil.”
Knights Templar Reflection
"Non nobis, Domine, non nobis, sed Nomini Tuo da gloriam."
(Not unto us, O Lord, not unto us, but to Your Name give glory.)
Brothers and Sisters,
Let us reflect on these words that guided the hearts of the Knights Templar - warriors not of
self-interest, but of service to God, to their brethren, and to the innocent. The Templars were
founded not as conquerors, but as protectors of the pilgrim, defenders of the weak, and guardians of
the Holy Land.

At their peak, the Knights Templar established one of the most efficient and trusted financial
networks in medieval Europe, laying the groundwork for what we know today as modern banking -
yet they lived under vows of poverty, chastity, and obedience. True strength is found not in riches,
but in discipline and duty.
In a world filled with chaos and division, let us continue their legacy. We are called not to glorify
ourselves, but to be instruments of justice, mercy, and faith.
Templar Prayer:
Lord God, King of Heaven and Earth, strengthen our hands for the battles we face, gird us with the
armor of righteousness, and guide us always by Your light. Let us serve You with humble hearts,
seeking not our own glory, but Yours alone. Amen.
Deus Vult!
Faith is more than belief—it is trust, surrender, and a daily walk with God. When Jesus said, “If ye have faith as a grain of mustard seed, ye shall say unto this mountain, Remove hence to yonder place; and it shall remove” (Matthew 17:20), He wasn’t speaking of wishful thinking, but of a faith rooted in God’s power.
True faith doesn’t ignore trials—it faces them with the confidence that God is in control. It isn’t passive, but active, calling us to obedience, love, and perseverance.

True faith doesn’t ignore trials—it faces them with the confidence that God is in control. It isn’t passive, but active, calling us to obedience, love, and perseverance. Faith moves mountains, not because we are strong, but because our God is.
Today, let’s walk in that kind of faith—one that trusts, obeys, and transforms. No matter how small our faith may seem, in God’s hands, it is enough.
What a blessed weekend was had. Not only was work conference productive, but learned new techniques for dealing with folks in crisis. Got to meet people from all over the world. As well as was able to see the rodeo in Houston.
If you can keep your head when all about you
Are losing theirs and blaming it on you,
If you can trust yourself when all men doubt you,
But make allowance for their doubting too;
If you can wait and not be tired by waiting,
Or being lied about, don’t deal in lies,
Or being hated, don’t give way to hating,
And yet don’t look too good, nor talk too wise:
If you can dream—and not make dreams your master;
If you can think—and not make thoughts your aim;

Are losing theirs and blaming it on you,
If you can trust yourself when all men doubt you,
But make allowance for their doubting too;
If you can wait and not be tired by waiting,
Or being lied about, don’t deal in lies,
Or being hated, don’t give way to hating,
And yet don’t look too good, nor talk too wise:
If you can dream—and not make dreams your master;
If you can think—and not make thoughts your aim;
If you can meet with Triumph and Disaster
And treat those two impostors just the same;
If you can bear to hear the truth you’ve spoken
Twisted by knaves to make a trap for fools,
Or watch the things you gave your life to, broken,
And stoop and build ’em up with worn-out tools:
If you can make one heap of all your winnings
And risk it on one turn of pitch-and-toss,
And lose, and start again at your beginnings
And never breathe a word about your loss;
If you can force your heart and nerve and sinew
To serve your turn long after they are gone,
And so hold on when there is nothing in you
Except the Will which says to them: ‘Hold on!’
If you can talk with crowds and keep your virtue,
Or walk with Kings—nor lose the common touch,
If neither foes nor loving friends can hurt you,
If all men count with you, but none too much;
If you can fill the unforgiving minute
With sixty seconds’ worth of distance run,
Yours is the Earth and everything that’s in it,
And—which is more—you’ll be a Man, my son!
“Through these tough streets, a man or woman must walk who does not become hardened by them, who holds the line between justice and chaos. A protector who is neither corrupt nor afraid, guided not by power but by a duty to serve. They must stand firm in the face of darkness, uphold the law with honor, and be strong enough to shield the innocent while just enough to hold the guilty accountable. They are the ones who answer the call, not for glory, but because it is the right thing to do.”

To those that haven’t seen it in signal chats was given permission to share these for any one that wants one.. The nuns that make them have restocked them on their Etsy page and are willing to sell exclusively to our order.. they have 20 completed now, but have more being done. They are handmade so they do take time. But as someone with one they are very high quality. And look amazing.
Beyond that I hope everyone has a very happy Sunday.
