Per Fidem Intrepidus means "Fearless Through Faith". My courage isn't my own, it comes from the Holy Spirit, it's my faith in God and my personal savior Christ Jesus that calms my fears and allows me to move forward in this fallen world. Personally I'm afraid of a lot of stuff, but having the faith that Jesus adopted me as his little, sin filled, brother keeps me going.
Oh WOW this strange because ever since I heard this said like a year ago or or so, and it has echoed in my mind often because it sounded so weird. I think he was talking about how people should be able to tell you're a Christian by the way you act not just what you say. But I think it's very misleading indeed.
It's very important for people to see you're a Christian by the way you act, but that's not evangelizing. We're called to spread the gospel, being caring and loving is awesome and vital, but it's not the Gospel. The Gospel is Jesus crucified and resurrected, and it's only through words that it can be preached.
