I learned I should stand up for others too.  Two weeks ago, today’s Gospel story came up; it’s here again because today is St. Philip’s Day ... Two weeks ago, my response to it was to ask: “do we really know what Jesus stands for?”  Today, I find myself asking: “do I really know what I stand for?”  For Jesus invites me to stand for something much bigger than myself.  My challenge is figuring out who or what exactly, and how?
