His Life’s Mission
When we learn about terrible events affecting people we don’t know, it’s too easy to dismiss them. We recognize that it is a tragedy, but it is more effortless to shrug and remark that such things do not affect us personally.
That’s not what this priest did, though. When he learned about the tragic suicide of a young girl—an event that might have been avoided if she’d had a good sex education class—he didn’t just walk away and believe it wasn’t his problem because he didn’t know her. He was inspired to fight for sex education and to develop a method for other people to learn about their bodies.
