The structure did not seem very attractive from the outside, but when I entered, the white and colorful interior almost took my breath.  The altar and sanctuary were marvelous.  How those friars cherish and adorn that little yet heavenly chapel!  I felt so happy kneeling there alone before the radiant Tabernacle.  Truly, I felt as if I were in a haven of Glory.  After Confession, I walked over to the altar of the Blessed Virgin in order to burn a vigil light there and again consecrate myself to her as her Knight.  I pleaded that she guide me wisely and protect me closely as I venture along the disastrous paths of battle.  Other earnest prayers followed in which I asked blessings on all of you at home.  Moments such as these before the Blessed Sacrament are the only true consolation, solitude, and peace a soldier can find nowadays.  I seek those moments at every opportunity that is given to me, for there lies my hope and contentment.  –‘Our Lady’s Knight’

..be thou an example of the faithful in word,
in conversation,
in charity,
in faith,
in chastity.

Till I come, attend unto reading,
to exhortation,
and to doctrine.

Neglect not the grace that is in thee,
which was given thee by prophesy,
with imposition of the hands of the priesthood.

Meditate upon these things,
be wholly in these things:
that thy profiting may be manifest to all.

Take heed to thyself
and to doctrine:
be earnest in them.
For in doing this thou shalt both save thyself and them that hear thee.
