In this Cor session, Michael Philpott—military veteran and Director of Parish Operations at St. John—invites men to reflect on the difference between worldly heroes and the true Christian model of greatness found in Christ and the saints. Tracing heroism from ancient myths to modern culture, he contrasts self-reliant achievement with the humility, surrender, and God-centered virtue that define sanctity. The session concludes in prayer, grounding the call to holiness in the example of Mary and the witness of the saints.
