Fr. Mychal Judge, OFM (1933-2001)
The Order of Saint Anthony the Great is exploring the life and witness of Mychal Judge, the New York Fire Department Chaplain who died at the World Trade Center on September 11th. A Franciscan and a priest, Mychal's life was filled with joy, pain, love, and self-giving.
One of Father Mychal's favorite prayer's sums up his theology:
Lord, take me where you want me to go;
Let me meet who you want me to meet;
Tell me what you want me to say
And keep me out of your way.
The documentary film, The Saint of 9/11, captures both the eternal joy and love of the friar along with inner turmoil that so often accompanies holy people. Click on the title of the film to watch it, it's worth your time.
