Self-commitment

I just Louisville beat Wichita State in the Final Four and they kept talking about Kevin Ware who had a devastating injury.  They said that when he broke his leg that he was in immense pain and all he would say is "Just win the game."  Kevin showed extreme commitment to his team by doing this, he had a compound fracture and completely severed the bones in his leg and all he cared about was his team and the game.  We should all look to Kevin as a role model and mimic his selflessness.  In our call to holiness, selflessness and dire commitment are two things that are essential to living our faith and believing in God.  God calls us to be selfless and give things to the poor and help them to carry on.  Also, dire commitment for any cause, even a bad cause, is still good because you aren't doing it for yourself, you're doing it for your teammate or companion.  That is what God desires in all of humanity, the selflessness that compels you to fight for another and not yourself.
