ent places to pray and spread the Good News, and that’s what I’m happy doing. I feel like I do best when working with my brain.” The favorite part of his job is celebrating the Eucharist. Cortes said that it illustrates the meaning of life, and he hopes for application in the life of the believer. One of his regular daily activities is sharing a prayer by phone each morning on Super Mix 101.9 radio. He and a priest from Center alternate each week at 6 a.m. He said he feels this gets each day started on a positive note. What Cortes calls “individualism” is one of the biggest changes he has seen in recent years. “People are concerned with only what affects them personally,” he said. “Infidelity and divorce are examples of how some don’t worry about the way their actions affect others. But as the Bible says, we are all part of the body and we have interconnections.” “One thing that makes people remember me is my handshake,” Cortes said. “I developed it especially so that those I meet in the community would know my faith. I’ve had people forget my name but say, ‘Oh, yes; He’s the one with the special handshake.’” Cortes demonstrated the three movements which he equates to his belief in the Trinity. Although Cortes is from a Latin culture, he says there is one thing about him that defies the stereotype. “I don’t eat spicy food,” he said with a laugh. “It gives me a hot temper.”
