Dear brothers and sisters,

Today we reflect on the heart of our faith: the mystery of the Resurrection. For a Templar, this is not merely a historical story, but a living reality.

Just as the sun rises invincible after the deepest night, the Resurrection reminds us that no sacrifice is ever in vain. It symbolizes the ultimate victory of Light over darkness, and of Life over death.
In our tradition, the Resurrection represents inner transformation. It challenges us to rise daily against injustice, fear, and despair, strengthened by the knowledge that love always has the final word.

May this mystery inspire us to walk the path of truth with head held high and a pure heart.

Non Nobis Domine, Non Nobis, Sed Nomini Tuo Da Gloriam.

Wishing everyone a blessed and hopeful time!

The Polish Templar Order, OSMTJ-Pologne organized a gala on November 28, 2025, for exceptionally talented Polish women aged 19–29. The initiative, called Młoda Polka (“Young Polish Woman”), aims to identify the best candidates in eight categories — from medicine and health, through education and science, business and entrepreneurship, culture and the arts, media, sports, and social activities.

The ceremony had a dignified yet warm atmosphere, emphasizing the mission of the competition: supporting talent, promoting social engagement, and building a community of young, active Polish women both in the country and abroad.

A tangible highlight of the gala was the establishment of a one-time scholarship for a directing student from the Polish Film School in Łódź, who is from a low-income background and needs financial support to complete her studies.

Quand l’ordre du Temple ressurgit en Ibérie, sous d’autres noms

En 1312, le concile de Vienne supprime le Temple par la bulle Vox in excelso; quelques semaines plus t**d, Ad providam confie ses biens à l’Hôpital... sauf en Castille, Aragon, Portugal et Majorque, réservés à une décision ultérieure. Dans la Couronne d’Aragon, Jacques II obtient de Jean XXII la création de l’Ordre de Montesa le 10 juin 1317, affilié à Calatrava, pour reprendre la défense des marches valenciennes et hériter des possessions templières locales. Au Portugal, après de longues négociations menées par Dinis, le pape institue l’Ordre du Christ le 14 mars 1319 par Ad ea ex quibus; patrimoine, maisons et une partie des frères y trouvent une continuité au XIVᵉ siècle. Dans les Îles Britanniques, les procédures furent plus modérées; le transfert des terres à l’Hôpital s’étira dans le temps et des frères perçurent des pensions. Bref, le destin du Temple ne fut ni uniforme ni monolithique.

They removed 14 books from your Bible in 1684.
The Lost Books of the Apocrypha.

Most Christians don't even know they existed...
But religious leaders fought to keep them hidden.
Here's the shocking truth about the forbidden books they didn't want you to read:

What are the "Lost Books" of the Bible?

Before 1684, your Bible looked very different.
It contained mysterious texts called the Apocrypha.

These weren't random additions:

• Core Christian teachings
• Ancient wisdom texts
• Powerful prophecies

What they contained would change everything...

2. What books were removed?

14 entire books vanished from history:

• Tobit
• Judith
• Baruch
• 1 & 2 Esdras
• 1 & 2 Maccabees
• Wisdom of Solomon
• Prayer of Manasseh
• Ecclesiasticus (Sirach)

But one book specifically caught scholars' attention...

The Book of Wisdom: A Lost Message?
Inside the Wisdom of Solomon, they found something incredible:

A prophecy about a persecuted Messiah.
Many believe this directly predicted Jesus.
If true, why remove such powerful evidence?
Unless there was something else they wanted to hide...

Tobit: A Book of Miracles
The Book of Tobit revealed supernatural secrets:

• Heavenly interventions
• Divine healing powers
• Angel Raphael on Earth
• Demon-banishing prayers

These mystical teachings challenged official doctrine.
But an even more controversial text was about to emerge...

The Maccabees and Hidden History
1 & 2 Maccabees told an extraordinary story:
Jewish warriors fighting Greek oppression.
It contained:

• Tales of martyrs
• Sacred traditions
• Acts of resistance
Catholics still consider it holy.
So why did Protestants need it gone?

A Threat to Church Authority?

Here's where it gets fascinating...
These books challenged religious control:

• Personal wisdom over church doctrine
• Individual spiritual experiences
• Alternative prophecies
The power structure had to respond…

Martin Luther's Reformation and the Bible's Revision in 1684, Protestant leaders made their move:

• Completely removed these books
• Declared them "non-canon"
• Restricted their teaching

But the real question remained:
What were they trying to prevent people from knowing?

Why does this matter today?

Think about this:

If they could remove 14 entire books...
What else might have been changed?
It forces us to ask:
• What knowledge was lost?
• Who decides what's scripture?
• How different would Christianity be today?

What can we learn from them?

These forbidden books reveal:
• Early Christian beliefs
• Alternative histories
• Forgotten practices
• Ancient wisdom

Some truths stayed buried for centuries.
Others are still being uncovered.

Here's what fascinates me:

These texts were Scripture for 1,700 years...
Until someone decided you shouldn't read them.
What secrets do you think they contain?

Let me know ?
