I pray for those that are still finding their way to you, that your light may shine on them to guide them through the darkness of the evil one. Lord protect my family near and far cast your shield down over them for protection from the evil and wicked we cannot see.
In our Lord Jesus holy name, I pray. Amen.

Goodnight my fellow brothers and sisters.

Blessings to you all and enjoy the read as I did.

Temple’s Last Breath – Acre, 1291
Acre is burning. The flames licked the walls, and the roar of the siege echoed through every stone. The city, the last crusader stronghold in the Holy Land, was drowning in blood and smoke. From the Gate of San Antonio, the templar rows barely resisted the onslaught of the rompers.
In the midst of the collapse, a white cloak rider galloped among the fighters. It was Guillaume de Beaujeu, Grandmaster of the Temple, sword in hand, face hardened by battle. But suddenly, a bullet — an arrow, possibly poisoned and treacherous — embedded in its right side, penetrating under the mesh sheath.
The impact was brutal. Guillaume hesitated in his chair, and fell. He turned half, moving a few meters away from the fight while his hand pressed the wound. Some of his gentlemen, unaware of the gravity of what had happened, saw him withdraw.
- The Master is on the run! —he cried out one in disbelief.
—He's abandoning us! — shouted another, with a crispy face.
It was then when Beaujeu stopped, turned towards them and, without eloquent words, opened his blood-stained cloak. With a serene but firm voice, he showed the mortal wound and uttered the words that would be etched in templar memory:
—I'm not running away; I'm dead. Here's the shot.
(“I'm not running away; I'm dead. Here's the hit. ”)
Their brothers' faces were transformed. Where there was doubt, there was shame. Where there was anger, there was pain.
Guillaume was quickly led to a safer place, perhaps an inner tower or the fortified templar house, still defended by his men. There, with blood escaping helplessly from his side, he expired shortly after, without returning to combat.
His death was not immediate, but it was the beginning of the end. Acre's defense collapsed in a matter of hours. The city fell, and with it the crossed dream.
And so, not with shouts, but with silent dignity, the last Grand Master who defended Holy Land fell like a true warrior of the Temple: without giving up, without retreating, and without lying to his men, just saying:
"Non timeo mortem, quia fidem porto in corde."
("I'm not afraid of death, because I carry faith in my heart." "

Beloved Brothers and Sisters... Who is God inviting you to remember in your prayers today?
“Heavenly Father, I thank You for faithfully meeting all my needs. Help me to turn my heart to others, near and far, who are equally loved by You. I ask that Your peace reign over war-torn nations, and that Your provisions extend to the poor, Your perseverance helps the persecuted, and Your comfort, comforts the saddened. Shield those in need of your protection from the wicked and evil that we cannot see. Defend those who do good works and seek to help in small charitable deeds in your name.
In jesus name, I pray. Amen "
Not to us, Lord, Not to us, But to your name give all glory.

8 Today, if you will hear his voice: do not harden your hearts, as in the rebellion, as in the day of trial in the wilderness,
9 When your father's tested me; they tried me, though they saw my work.
10 For forty years I was grieved of that generation, and said, it is a people who go astray in their hearts, and they do not know my ways.
11 So I swore in my wrath, they shall not enter my rest.
Heavenly Father, teach me the patience of a shepherd, but Grant me the ferocity of a Lion in the presence of wolves.
Shield me from the evil that cannot be seen. Protect my loved one's, keep them safe in your holy light. Don't let temptation get a hold of me O Lord. Give me the strength to spread your word and the wisdom to understand your holy Bible.
In Jesus name, I pray. Amen

My only answers were that they were falsely accused, unjustly prosecuted, and absolved of accusations and restored by the Pope, only to be executed by a king of France that was in debt to the Templar's for founding wars he started that he could not pay back.
DON'T CARRY HATRED IN YOUR HEART.
I don’t carry hatred in my heart—not because I haven’t been hurt, but because I’ve learned that pain multiplies when we pass it on.
The world already has enough cruelty; I don’t want to add to it.
When someone wrongs me, I remind myself: there is a higher order at work, one I don’t have to control.
Life has a way of balancing the scales in time.
What we put out into the world—our intentions, our actions, our choices—comes back to meet us eventually. I don’t need to seek revenge or wish harm.
I just need to trust that truth has its own timing, and justice wears many faces, even if it arrives silently.
So no, I won’t repay betrayal with bitterness or answer cruelty with cruelty.
I’ll step back, protect my peace, and let life take care of the rest. Because I believe in grace—but I also believe in karma.
And while I focus on healing, growing, and loving those who love me well, I trust that every act—good or bad—returns home.
Psalm 32, 1-5
¹ Blessed is he whose transgressions is forgiven, whose sin is covered.
² Blessed is the man to whom the Lord does not impute iniquity, and in whose spirit there is no deceit.
³ When I kept silent, my bones grew old through my groaning all the day long.
⁴ For day and night your hand was heavy upon me; my vitality was turned into the drought of summer.
⁵ I acknowledge my sin to you, and my Iniquity I have not hidden. I said, I will confess my transgressions to the Lord, and you forgive the iniquity of my sin.
In Jesus name, I pray, Amen.
St Michael Archangel, defend us in battle.
Have a blessed day and weekend.

Psalm 13

² How long shall I take counsel in my soul, Having sorrow in my heart daily? How long will my enemy be exalted over me?
³ Consider and hear me, O Lord my God; enlighten my eyes, lest I sleep the sleep of death;
⁴ Lest my enemy say, "I have prevailed against him"; Lest those who trouble me rejoice when I am moved.
⁵ But I have trusted in your mercy; my heart shall rejoice in your salvation.
⁶ I will sing to the Lord, because he has dealt bountifully with me.
Heavenly Father Grant me the patience to understand in you, help me to understand Psalm 13 so that I may not crumble under pressure. May your word and gospel continue to help me better understand the upsets and achievements in life
