The shortest day of the year.
December 21th of the 10th month of the year of the real light 6026, the light has defeated the darkness.
My brothers:
Since we celebrated in fervor, the Feast of Saint John of Summer, the light has started to disappear. Imperceptibly while we found ourselves in the euphoria of our achievements, darkness surreptitiously invaded our works, our hearts.
Through our slackening, our achievements have gradually detached themselves from us. We contemplated them, first with what is customarily called a legitimate pride; then we admired our works with increasing vanity.
We were exaggerating on the scope of our small achievements, all relative and contingent; we were losing critical sense, we were wandering in darkness!
My brothers, let us invoke with respect and humility the Almighty God, Great Architect of the Universe, so that he may grant us his help to find the Light: Grand Architect of the Universe, Father Almighty & God, deign to protect the Brothers and their families gathered in your Holy Name.
Grant them the grace to dedicate their earthly works and activities to you, in order to become loyal and faithful servants of your eternal work.
Strengthen in their hearts the brotherly love and respect for the ancient Duties.
Inspire their wisdom for the honor and sanctification of your Holy Name.
Marc D
