The Lord has placed inside each of us a yearning for action, a restlessness for adventure, and a desire to be heroic… and He is calling you to make sacrifices, to lead others, and to speak the Truth – whatever your gifts, your position at work, or your status in life. To light the way... we can look to the examples of people like Jose Sanchez del Rio, Akash Bashir, St Paul, Queen Esther, Mark Ji Tianxiang, John Paul II, and others. Steve Lee gave this talk to a gathering of Catholic men in October 2024.
