10/26/08 To The Men

Homily from the Thirtieth Sunday in Ordinary Time.

"What I want to feel and think and hear is, 'Paul, go out and be a man. Be dangerous. Risk your life for me. Be willing to stand up in a crowd and to say the truth, to respect other people, to give them what is due, and to know you'll probably be beaten, probably laughed at and pushed around. And yet if you know who you are, you will stand with the truth, and you will defend the truth, and you will live the truth.'"
