What makes a Catholic man? It's not about doing more or being louder—it's about quiet heroism, relentless service, and mastering your inner self. Dominic walks around the essence of true masculinity inspired by powerful stories—from Aragorn to Tony Stark—looking for practical steps to step up as leaders, fathers, and warriors for good.
The Oath from the talk: "Night gathers, and now my watch begins. It shall not end until my death. I pledge to love my wife, tend my responsibilities, and be a father to all children. I shall wear no crowns and win no glory. I shall live and die at my post. I am the sword in the darkness. I am the watcher on the walls. I am the fire that burns against the cold, the light that brings the dawn, the horn that wakes the sleepers, the shield that guards the realms of men. I pledge my life and honor to the Night’s Watch, for this night and all the nights to come.”
