What do heroes do?
Do they fight monsters? On occasion, but they also hold the hands of people who find themselves in poor health and lonely. They build schools. They study the planets. They forgive those who have harmed them. Heroes are people who look at the world around them, see what must be done, and through the grace of God find the strength to assist others.
