Show compassion rather than judgment, including towards yourself. Everyone is facing struggles. Today, look in the mirror and reassure yourself, saying, "It's alright, it'll be okay."

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.

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 humility and thanksgiving.
May God, in His infinite mercy, bless our veterans and their families, granting them the peace that surpasses all understanding.
Let us never take lightly the cost of our liberty, and may our gratitude be not just spoken in words, but lived through service, compassion, and unity in our communities.
Eternal rest to the fallen, and enduring honor to the living—your service is our strength, and your legacy our freedom’s steadfast light.
In thy Holy name, I pray.
Amen

Thank you all for joining tonight’s OMSDT Templars Bible Study. As we discussed, I’d like to invite everyone to take part in a simple but powerful spiritual challenge this month.
All you’ll need is a pen or pencil, a notebook, and just 15 minutes a day. Here’s the challenge:

Brothers and sisters,
Thank you all for joining tonight’s OMSDT Templars Bible Study. As we discussed, I’d like to invite everyone to take part in a simple but powerful spiritual challenge this month.
All you’ll need is a pen or pencil, a notebook, and just 15 minutes a day. Here’s the challenge:
Each day, read one chapter from the Book of Proverbs that corresponds to the date. For example, on the 10th, read Proverbs Chapter 10. After reading, take a few moments to journal one insight that stood out to you and one way you can apply it in your life that day.
This daily practice is meant to help us build wisdom, reflection, and spiritual awareness into our routines. We can discuss our findings and experiences during our first scheduled Bible Study in December 2025. I’m looking forward to hearing your thoughts and seeing how this challenge impacts your walk with God.
Let’s encourage one another as we seek understanding and allow God’s wisdom to guide our steps.
Hope to see you soon at our next scheduled Bible Study. Until then...
GOD Bless You...
Everyone...
Everywhere...

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 spiritual understanding above all else.

I warmly invite you to join us for our Bible Studies on the second and fourth Sundays of each month. Let’s come together in faith and fellowship to draw closer to God and to one another through His Word. I truly look forward to sharing this sacred time with you.
“Now may the Lord bless you and keep you; may the Lord make His face shine upon you and be gracious to you; may the Lord lift up His countenance upon you and give you peace” (Numbers 6:24-26).

we lift before you all who have worn the uniform of our nation— those who served with courage, endured hardship, and risked all for the sake of peace.
Bless the veterans still among us with strength of mind and body, and grant them the comfort of knowing their service is honored and remembered.
Receive into your loving arms those who have fallen in battle and those who have died after their years of service.
Grant them rest from their labors, freedom from suffering, and a place in the light of your eternal kingdom.
Lord, teach us to walk in the ways of peace,
to uphold the dignity of every human life,
and to be worthy of the sacrifices made for our freedom.
May your grace unite the living and the dead in the promise of resurrection, in thy holy name we pray.
Amen.
Today is Election Day, a privilege made possible by the dedication and sacrifice of service members who have protected democratic freedoms both at home and abroad.
Before the formal commemorations of Veterans Day, it is fitting to pause in gratitude and reflect on all those who serve and have served, who step forward so that the rest of us may freely participate in choosing our destiny.

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 contemplating the souls of all the departed, we are renewed in the promise that divine light reaches even the shadows of death, calling all souls into perfect rest.
Let us remember all the souls that have departed this year, and may their memories live on in our hearts and minds. Let us never forget the memorable moments they blessed us with while they walked on the earth.
