About this sermon
A Catholic author's new book examines the life-changing power of faith. As examples, he uses historical figures like medieval King Alfred, a doctor on an arctic whaling vessel and a composer in Communist Poland. In "The Song of Ascents," Tom Hiney writes in part, "Some people foolishly say that being Christian is the delusion that life is easy... or nice. What is rather true is that, when you do suffer, you know to whom to go. You utter the words 'Jesus' or 'Lord' and know you are not talking to the air." Author Tom Hiney in Southwest England, joins to share what gave him the idea to research these historical figures separated by centuries yet united by a reliance in God. In one section, he describes retreating German soldiers in World War II. When they were surrounded by Russian troops, they made an unusual request. Hiney tells us more about that. Hiney's own faith journey took him from Atheism to Protestant military chaplain, and finally 2 years ago he converted to Catholicism. Now, he is in the seminary. Hiney discusses what drew him to the Catholic faith. He fills us in on what comes next for him, as he is on track to be ordained a deacon next year.
