the Equestrian Order of the Holy Sepulchre is a legal entity in
Canon Law:
as a Ecclesiastical Order of Knighthood it is part of the
Holy See with the Pope as its Supreme Head,
it is the only such
Order recognized by the Holy See
(the Sovereign Military Order of Malta also enjoys the
patronage of the Holy See but is it own ultimate authority).

be the mother of Jesus, through the Immaculate Conception,
in the mystery of divine incarnation for the Holy Spirit.
Thanks Chris for your beautiful words.
Be an instrument in the hands of the Lord is my only aspiration.
God cares for us and gives us the opportunity to be a tool in his hands.
This is the way of the Lord, the hope and the work of his Kingdom.
