Reflection:
In 1 Kings 3, we face the classic "genie in a bottle" scenario. What would we ask for? World peace? Greater faith? An understanding heart like Solomon? It's nice to think that such noble things would top our list, but that should make us wonder why aren't already working for them. We live in a country that affords us opportunities most of the world has never even dreamed of. And our Savior holds infinite graces.
No genie can top that. So let's get to work.

"Stand firm in the faith; be men of courage; be strong." 1 Corinthians 16:13
I have learned the truth: there are greater pursuits than self-seeking. Glory is not a conceit. It is not a decoration for valor. It is not a prize for being the most clever, the strongest, or the boldest. Glory belongs to the act of being constant to something greater than yourself, to a cause, to your principles, to the people on whom you rely, and who rely on you in return. No misfortune, no injury, no humiliation can destroy it. This is the faith that my commanders affirmed, that my brothers-in-arms encouraged my allegiance to. It was the faith I had un-knowingly embraced at the Naval Academy. It was my father's and grandfather's faith. A filthy, crippled, broken man, all I had left of my dignity was the faith of my fathers.
It was enough.
-John McCain

Throughout history, there have been many heroes. And regardless of their story, each of them is recognized for having ultimately dedicated themselves to something important. Within the Catholic Church, we have our own group of heroes whom we acknowledge for their embodiment of Christian virtue. And still, for some reason, these saints sometimes seem distant, as if they are only figments of our imagination or stories to tell our children before First Communion. But these saints were real. They were real men and woman. Lawyers, nuns, soldiers, priests, teachers, young, and old. The saints, since their death even, have continued to be vessels of God's grace. And whatever their story was, whatever they are known for, we now are called not just to be like them, not just to honor them, not just to learn about them or pray to them. Indeed, we are called to join them.

This month we welcome author, speaker, and entrepreneur Tarek Saab. WIth us to speak about his new book Gut Check, Tarek shares his insightful and all-too-familiar perspective on the challenges of becoming a man of faith and perseverance. His book has received tremendous acclaim and, well, perhaps the publisher puts it best: It is a book for men who never read and for men who think they have read it all. If you think you know what you really want, are you ready for a gut check?

In March's bonus interview, we talk to Eric Driggs. An expert on human trafficking and immigration, Eric has witnessed first-hand the impact of Cuban communism. A politically sensitive issue, this crisis calls on every Christian to pray for all suffering children of God. With border security topping the list of America's priorities, hear why it's important for us to remember what's still going on just 90 miles south of Key West.
