Father Kirby invites us to live our faith, fully and openly. Truth and true happiness can only come from living in accordance not with an identity forged in secular culture, but rather with our identity born and shaped in Christ. T

he culture will seduce us into self-actualization, telling us we create ourselves and faith is only to be lived in private. God tells us, however, that we are called to be disciples and to live as people of faith in the world. May this new year be the beginning of living our true identity in and through Him.
