About this sermon
U.S. Navy veteran and Master Chief Petty Officer Tony Gonzales now serves Texas’ 23rd Congressional District. After facing childhood challenges—including time in a battered women’s shelter and being raised by his grandparents in San Antonio—Congressman Gonzales credits his grandfather for inspiring his strong Catholic faith. Today, he and his wife Angel are passing on those values to their six children. Now in his third term in Congress, Tony shares a special moment meeting Pope Francis, where he made sure each of his children received a blessed rosary. He stays grounded through daily Mass and reading Scripture, and believes it’s an exciting time to be Catholic. His advice to young people: surrender and rely on God. ------------ EWTN News Nightly provides the latest news and analysis from a Catholic perspective.
