The story of Fr. Cirilo Nacorda is one layered with nuance, spirituality,  and humanity. Over the course of two decades, the Catholic priest has lived through two hostage situations; has helped organize Christian militias uniting against Jihadist militants, and armed himself because of the perceived hopelessness of the situation; and has faced what he saw as deep corruption in the Philippines. The trials led Fr. Nacorda to a deeper layer to his faith, but not before seriously challenging it. 

And even still he's challenged, just as a chaplain in an Ohio hospital.

"My hands were tied with chain and padlock...and there were four terrorists guarding me inside that small hut, but I managed to kneel down, and I was able to pray...if this is now the moment, just give me the strength, the faith, the courage to face my death."
