A Man of Commitment
Mt 21:23-32

Among the thousands of victims of that attack on the World Trade Center was Father Mychal F. Judge, the fire department chaplain who, while ministering to the fire fighters working at Ground Zero, was killed by falling debris from the Towers. In Father Mychal's pocket was this prayer that he always carried with him:

Lord, take me where You want me to go;
Let me meet who You want me to meet;
Tell me what You want me to say, and
Keep me out of Your way.

Father Mychal was a man of commitment. He understood that the vows he took before God were not a trivial matter. He is one who said, "I'll go, Father"  - and he went.
