Emil Kapaun died as a prisoner of war during the Korean War. This army chaplain demonstrated what it means to love as Jesus commands us to, even to the point of forgiving his captors before he died.

This applies especially to how we live for God. Fr. Phil explains how often we get bogged down with earthly things because we aren't taking the time to focus our sights on Jesus.

No matter the path, we will face it. Fr. Phil highlights St. Peter's words, “It is better to suffer for doing good, if that be the will of God, than for doing evil” (1 Peter 3:17). The unjust suffering we endure out of love for God will produce glory within us (Romans 8:14-18). If choosing to live apart from God will still produce suffering, why not suffer for that which brings us closer to Heaven?

Phil talks about Jesus' response to Philip the Apostle who desires to see the Father. Jesus reaffirms the indissolubility of the Holy Trinity as well as the identity of the First Person of the Trinity: God the Father. Following His commandments and rejoicing in this intimate revelation of God's identity can lead us into a deeper experience of His joy and His love.
