À propos de cet audio

This special episode of Saints Replay features a homily delivered at Light of Christ Catholic Schools on Veterans Day, a day which also celebrates the feast of St. Martin of Tours, himself a veteran.

The message centers on gratitude and meaningful living in light of the sacrifices made by veterans.

Episode Highlights:

Gratitude for Veterans: A special welcome and expression of thanks to all veterans and their families for their inspiring presence and service.
The Price of Freedom: A reflection on the immense, often unpayable, cost of service, noting that those who fight in war put their whole lives on the line and are never paid adequately. The speaker contrasts this with a store offering a "30% discount" for those who gave "100".
Worship and Liberty: The homily highlights that many wars in the Old Testament were fought for the freedom to worship God, which remains the most important freedom, alongside the many rights and privileges Americans enjoy.
The Gift of Life: The talk draws parallels between the Israelites receiving unearned gifts upon entering the Promised Land—homes they didn't build and fruit from trees they didn't plant—and the unearned gifts and opportunities Christians receive. The very fact of existence is presented as proof of being loved.
Living Ardently: Drawing inspiration from St. Martin of Tours, the episode challenges listeners, especially young people, to avoid slacking off or finding life meaningless. St. Martin was described as a man who was "neither afraid to die, nor did he refuse to live".
A Call to Action: The most sincere way to thank a veteran is not just with words, but by living a meaningful life and ardently using the freedoms and opportunities they have won.

Tune in to revisit this powerful message on sacrifice, duty, and living a life full of purpose and gratitude.
