"A priest forever" --
"Unto the least of these" --
"A corrupt tree" --
The hall of judgement --
"Founded upon a rock" --
A new contract --
Speaking the truth in love --
"Upon the altar of God".

This is the warm, human story of a man whose most burning desire was to spend himself to bring health, hope, and purpose to other human beings who had none of these things. An ex-Catholic priest tells of his work in the slums of Phoenix, Arizona's south side in the 1930s and 40s, and how his crusade for the city's poor and minorities earned him the oppostion of the Church.
