-
The world
-
needs proud warriors
-
[Musical chord]
-
animated by their faith.
-
Warriors like Saint Paul,
-
and Saint Luke,
-
who risked their names,
-
their reputations,
-
to take their faith,
-
their love,
-
for Jesus into the world.
-
[Musical chord]
-
God is calling each one of us,
-
each one of you,
-
to do great things.
-
But how often
-
[Musical chord]
-
we fail to respond,
-
[Slow string music]
-
dismissing it as some mental blurp.
-
It is time for our generation, now,
-
to accept that call,
-
the call of God urging
-
all of us
-
to give ourselves entirely
-
to Him.
-
[String music]
-
To see that gentle hand
-
[String music]
-
guiding your path.
-
You first must make the commitment
-
to start praying,
-
to fast,
-
to meditate on the Holy Scriptures,
-
to take the Holy Sacraments seriously.
-
For we are a culture now in decline,
-
a people in danger of
-
succumbing to our excesses.
-
[String music]
-
Our whole world
-
is entrenched in sin.
-
There, in the quietness of our hearts,
-
God is calling out to us,
-
each one of us,
-
to give ourselves
-
entirely to Him.
-
[String music]
-
And how often
-
we ignore Him,
-
ignore that sweet call.
-
The great saint of Auschwitz,
-
Saint Maximilian Kolbe,
-
said that indifference
-
is the greatest sin of the 20th century.
-
My brothers and sisters,
-
it is the greatest sin
-
of the 21st century, as well.
-
We must shake off this indifference,
-
this destructive tolerance of evil.
-
Only our faith and the wisdom of Christ
-
can save us,
-
but it requires warriors,
-
ready to risk their reputations,
-
their names,
-
and our very lives,
-
to stand for the truth.
-
Set yourselves apart
-
from this corrupt generation.
-
Be saints.
-
[String music builds]
-
Every man dies.
-
Not every man truly lives.
-
You, you, you.
-
We all must fight
-
for that authentic freedom,
-
and live, my friends.
-
By God, we must live.
