Neil McDonough made headlines when he refused to perform intimate scenes in Hollywood because of his Catholic faith and commitment to his wife and family. Rather than compromise his beliefs, he chose fidelity to Christ.

In this powerful Catholic reflection, we explore McDonough's witness alongside the Gospel, the Nicene Creed, the Sign of the Cross, the Wedding at Cana, Lazarus, Martha and Mary, and the importance of publicly living the Catholic faith.

Too many Catholics keep their faith private. Christ calls us to boldly proclaim the truth of the Catholic Church, defend the sacraments, embrace the Eucharist, and live as authentic disciples in a culture that increasingly opposes Christian values.

This message is a challenge to every Catholic:

• Are you willing to stand for Christ when it costs you something?
• Do people know you're Catholic?
• Are you living your faith publicly or privately?
• Will you make the Sign of the Cross without fear?

The Catholic faith isn't merely something we believe—it is who we are.

"Whoever acknowledges Me before others, I will acknowledge before My Father in Heaven."
