Paul’s letter to the Philippians illustrates how joy and courage can coexist with hardship. Father Casey reflects on Paul’s courage, James Harrison’s selfless blood donations despite fear, and Jesus’s unwavering commitment to his mission. He emphasizes that courage is not the absence of fear but the determination to act despite it. Whether facing imprisonment, physical fear, societal panic, or mortal threats, true strength lies in choosing to do the next right thing.
