There's a great deal of wisdom in that, Jeff, as hard as it may be. It is what Jesus did..

Fr. B. Mullady has a wonderful reflection: He says:

St. Thomas Aquinas says the virtue of magnanimity (greatness of soul)
makes “someone deem himself worthy of great things
in consideration of the gifts he holds from God” (Summa Theologiae II-II, 129, ad 4).

It is a part of the virtue of courage.

Courage and greatness of soul are needed in every generation,
and this is true of our own in the contemporary Church.

Greatness of soul leads a person to esteem only great matters,
not to sway from the truth […]

And from St. JPII:
For who you are is more fundamental […]

Remember always: "the place where you stand is holy ground" (Ex. 3, 5).

Thank you Father Keyes for being a rock through these difficult times. Thank you for keeping the inspiration flowing. We are grateful to have your past homilies for reference.
