What is it like bringing the sacraments and the good news of Jesus Christ to men and women on the front lines of combat? Father Lieutenant Colonel Brian Kane, a U.S. Army chaplain in the Nebraska National Guard, shares his war experiences from Iraq's Anbar Province in 2005. And he recalls how things had changed in the war-torn country when he returned to Iraq for a second deployment in 2010. Father Kane considers the what if any effects secularization has had on the U.S. armed forces, and he reflects on the tension between preaching a gospel of peace in an active war zone. Father Kane serves in the military with endorsement and faculties from the Archdiocese for the Military Services, USA.
