Show Notes
The date: September 20th, 2024…
The place: The White House Rose Garden….
The speaker: actor Martin Sheen..
“You know, the Irish tell the story of a man who arrives at the gates of heaven and asks to be let in.
Saint Peter says, ‘Of course. Just show us your scars.’
The man says, ‘I have no scars.’ Saint Peter says ‘What a pity. Was there nothing worth fighting for?’
We are rightly called to find something in our lives worth fighting for
Something that can unite the will of the spirit with the work of the flesh
And when we find that, we will discover fire for the second time.”
