Be Strong and Courageous: Our Post-Midterms Charge

Results from the midterm elections have several states now providing legal safe haven for the gruesome act of abortion. The response of Catholics and other pro-life Americans must not be despair, nor should we become despondent. Instead, we can draw on our 2,000-year tradition of mobilizing as a community of believers and unite the Church and our country. 

Let me tell you how my six-year-old son, of all people, is helping to clarify my thoughts. 

With his first-grade classmates, he is memorizing a Biblical passage that offers good counsel. 

“Joshua 1:6-9. Be strong and courageous,” I hear in the minivan on the way to and from school. Simple but incredibly powerful words that give us insight.
