the Word made flesh | VERITAS

The Lord has placed inside each of us a yearning for action, a restlessness for adventure, and a desire to be heroic… and He is calling you to make sacrifices, to lead others, and to speak the Truth – whatever your gifts, your position at work, or your status in life.

To light the way... we can look to the examples of people like Jose Sanchez del Rio, Akash Bashir, St Paul, Queen Esther, Mark Ji Tianxiang, John Paul II, and others.

Steve Lee gave this talk to a gathering of Catholic men in October 2024.

You may know that Steve's wife, Roula, battled leukemia just days after Veritas Catholic Network launched. The faith-filled way she suffered was inspiring… and just how the Lord asks all of us to suffer.

St Paul wrote that “we rejoice in our sufferings”… can we really, actually rejoice in our sufferings?
