In today’s homily, Father Jerry shares a story where two veterans visited the Vietnam War Memorial in Washington, D.C. “With tears in their eyes, they touched the names etched into the black marble… The names of their brothers with whom they served in southeast Asia.” As they leave the memorial, one of the ex-POWs asks, “Have you forgiven your captors yet?” His friend replies, “No. Never!” The first soldier then says, “It seems they still have you in their prison, don’t they?”

Watch today’s video and see how Father relates this story to so many of our lives today. May God bless your family, and all those who serve.
