Good afternoon and good evening brothers and sisters of OMSDT knights Templar.
I've been having to explain myself and reasons for being a Templar, and I have been asked many questions about the Templar's of old and I sensed the animosity and resentment of their questions. 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 st... moreGood afternoon and good evening brothers and sisters of OMSDT knights Templar.

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.
