Grand Knight’s Message Paul Greninger, Grand Knight

Brother Knights and families,

A website I ran into called the Catholicgentleman.net a blog by

Sam Guzman who gives great Catho-lic manly advice. I recommend it to all men but here is a good thing to bring Joy to men’s hearts during this Easter season of Joy!: The official Catholic Beer blessing! Happy Easter!

One of the great things about being Catholic is that the Church has quite literally thought of everything at some point or another. Some inventive cleric even thought to include a beer blessing in the Rituale Romanum (my parish also has an annual wine blessing). Creation is good. Beer is good. Let us rejoice and be glad in it.

V. Our help is in the name of the Lord.

R. Who made heaven and earth.V. The Lord be with you.R. And with thy spirit.Let us pray.Bless, + O Lord, this creature beer,

which thou hast deigned to produce from the fat of grain: that it may be a salutary remedy to the human race, and grant through the invocation of thy holy name; that, whoever shall drink it, may gain health in body and peace in soul. Through Christ our Lord. Amen.

In Latin:V. Adjutorium nostrum in nomine

Domini.R. Qui fecit caelum et terram.V. Dominus vobiscum.R. Et cum spiritu tuo.Oremus.Bene+dic, Domine, creaturam is-

tam cerevisae, quam ex adipe frumenti

great meal, awards, and prizes. I’m also trying something new this year. I have new entertainment by Comedy Sportz a standup comedy show (rated PG). I would like to personally in-vite all Brother Knights and families to come.

God bless you all

producere dignatus es: ut sit remedium salutare humano generi: et praesta per invocationem nominis tui sancti, ut, quicumque ex ea biberint, sanitatem corporis, et animae tutelam percipi-ant. Per Christum Dominum nostrum. Amen
