What is a man, what is a real man? THE most deeply masculine quality is a firmness, strength, and courage of the will to do the moral good and fight against evil, protecting the weak, providing for the needy, and carrying the downtrodden, beginning in our own homes and lives. It is to practice virtue, sacrificing ones own good or desires for those of all. It is lead others, especially to the highest good; practicing all of these with tenderness, affection, and gentleness proper to a man engaged in the pursuit of what is good. #HeroicVirtue #RealMenDoGoodAndFightEvil #Luke9TwentyThree

A holy hour is a time set aside entirely to worship God, to repair for sin, to entrust your cares to him, and to beg him for graces needed for your salvation, and that of the whole world.

Many people ask me how to pray. I ask them how many actual minutes did you spend yesterday, and everyday consistently last month, when you turned off your phone, turned away from every thing and everyone, and locked yourself up in your inmost room of your heart to speak to only your Father in private? How many? Exactly. Stop asking how and start scheduling the most important appointment in your day. Do that for 15-30 minutes a day and soon you will be instructing me.

In a special way, my heart reaches out in prayer to all the motherless, who are alone and do not know the tender affection of a mama, praying that they may discover the sweet maternal presence of the Virgin Mary, who has special love and devotion to them. Stretch out your hand to the Rosary and hold the hand of the Mother whose kindness can heal your loneliness.

At first I thought that I would have liked to be there when St Paul, shortly after being stoned and left for dead, crawled back into the city, no doubt full of bruises, bleeding, and crushed bones, cried out "It is necessary for us to undergo many hardships to enter the Kingdom of God.” Then I realized this is the way Christians are at there best. When they radiate the Peace of Christ, not as the world gives or understands, but truly a lasting unexplainable peace amidst all bruises and afflictions. These are the only believable and authentic followers of Christ. You'll meet them amidst the crowds and mockery of this world. They are those who truly know real love, sacrifice, and glory, clothed as it is oftentimes in blood, sweat, and tears.

This generation is starving for love: hunger, thirst, desolate and alone, wandering in a wasteland. Blessed are those who discover Jesus Christ, who said, "I am the Bread of Life. Whoever comes to me will never hunger, and whoever believes in me will never thirst." Blessed are those who, having been filled with heavenly mercies, readily share the abundant kindness and satisfying love of God to all they meet. #Eucharist #ReadJohnCh6 #BelieveAndBeFed #StarveNoLonger

What does a priest do when no one comes to the confessional? Prays for the ones who need to be there the most. #YearOfMercy #GoToConfession
