The Last Homily of Fr. Mychal Judge, OFM

"That's the way it is.  Good days.  And bad days.  Up days.  Down days.  Sad days.  Happy days.  But never a boring day on this job.  You do what God has called you to do.  You show up.  You put one foot in front of another.  You get on the rig and you go out and you do the job - which is a mystery.  And a surprise.  You have no idea when you get on that rig.  No matter how big the call.  No matter how small.  You have no idea what God is calling you to.  But he needs you.  He needs me.  He needs all of us." 

In a recent post, Deacon Greg Kandra shared the last homily of Fr. Mychal Judge, OFM. Father Judge, a chaplain for the Fire Department of New York City, was the first recorded fatality of the 9-11 attack on the Twin Towers in New York. The homily was presented at the quarters of Engine 73 and Ladder 42 in the Bronx on 10 September 2001.
