Installation of Officers
The Installation of Officers ceremony is a crucial event within the Knights of Columbus. It marks the official transition of leadership within a council, ensuring continuity and the effective execution of its mission. This ceremony is not merely a formality; it’s a solemn occasion that reinforces the commitment of the newly installed officers to their roles. By taking the oaths and being invested with our respective emblems, we publicly pledge to serve our brothers and our community with dedication and integrity. This ceremony serves as a reminder of the responsibilities and privileges associated with leadership within the Knights of Columbus.

Lectio Divina Invitation: The Healing of Bartimaeus
Scripture Reading: Mark 10:46-52
Theme: Faith, Healing, and Following Jesus
Invitation:
Let us embark on a journey of spiritual reflection through the story of Bartimaeus, a blind man healed by Jesus.
Through the practice of Lectio Divina, we will seek to encounter God’s word and allow it to transform our hearts.
Steps:

Lectio (Reading): We will read the passage slowly and attentively, taking turns to read aloud. Pay attention to words or phrases that resonate with you personally.

Meditatio (Meditation): Share your thoughts and feelings about the passage. What emotions does it evoke in you? What does it reveal about Jesus, Bartimaeus, or yourself?

Contemplatio (Contemplation): Spend a few moments in silent contemplation, allowing the words of the passage to sink into your hearts.
As a group, we will then share our reflections on this time of quiet and consider what God may be calling us to do in response to this passage.

Questions for Reflection:

What does Bartimaeus’ persistence reveal about his faith?
How does Jesus’ response to Bartimaeus’ request reflect his compassion and power?
In what ways can we emulate Bartimaeus’ faith in our own lives?
How does this story inspire you to follow Jesus more closely?

May this Lectio Divina journey lead us to a deeper understanding of God’s love and a renewed commitment to following Jesus.

Remember: There is no right or wrong way to experience Lectio Divina. Simply allow yourself to be open to God’s word and to the insights that may arise.
