Knight's
Code of Honor
My soul to God -- by the
full spiritual life;
My life to Christ the King;
My heart to our Blessed
Lady; and
My own honor - the
ineffable honor that comes to him who called the Church my Mother and to
him who calls God, my Father and strives to live like His Son.
|
Memorare
Remember, O most gracious Virgin
Mary, that never was it known that anyone who fled to Thy protection,
implored Thy help or sought Thy intercession, was left unaided.
Inspired with this confidence, I fly unto Thee, O Virgin of Virgins,
my mother. To Thee I come, before Thee I stand, sinful and
sorrowful. O Mother of the Word Incarnate, despise not my
petitions, but in Thy mercy, hear and answer me. Amen. |
Our
Lady,
Queen
of Palestine,
pray
for us.
The spiritual privileges accorded members are: plenary
indulgence, under usual conditions, the day of Investiture and on
the four feast days especially assigned to the Order: |
|
-
Our Lady, Queen of Palestine -
Sunday within the Octave of the Assumption
-
the Exultation of the Holy Cross -
September 14
-
St. Pius X - August 21
-
St. Helen -

With a continual and unceasing
raising of the mind and heart to God through the intercession of the
Blessed Virgin Mary, the effectiveness of our efforts on behalf of the
Christian in the Holy Land will succeed. The Memorare was given
to the Order by St. Bernard, Abbot of Clairvaux, when he urged the
Second Crusade.
The Memorare should be the daily
offering of every Knight and Lady.
