5 Essentials Every Son Needs From His Father

Beauty belongs to Catholicism, yet we see fewer and fewer traces of this in our modern Churches. Men often ignore this transcendental and lack a depth of understanding of the objective nature of beauty. It is time to learn how beauty is tied to truth and goodness and how it can awaken within your soul an improved man. We are joined today by Robert Puschautz, a professional artist of the Stabat Mater Foundation, to learn why this is the case and how we can fix it.Stabat Mater Foundation - https://www.stabatmater.org/artRobert Puschautz IG - https://www.instagram.com/robertpuschautz"We no longer dare to believe in beauty and we make of it a mere appearance in order the more easily to dispose of it. Our situation today shows that beauty demands for itself at least as much courage and decision as do truth and goodness, and she will not allow herself to be separated and banned from her two sisters without taking them along with herself in an act of mysterious vengeance. We can be sure that whoever sneers at her name as if she were the ornament of a bourgeois past -- whether he admits it or not -- can no longer pray and soon will no longer be able to love." - Hans Urs von Balthazar🔴 The Catholic Gentleman Podcast happens because of our generous donors, including monthly donations of any amount.

*EVERY* Objection to Mary Answered 🤯 w/ William Albrecht & Fr. Christiaan Kappas

The easiest way to get lost in doing anything is to not know what you are trying to do to begin with.  Anytime we’re called to lead a project of any kind, our leadership begins with vision.  But what if we can’t find a vision?  Is there something deeper at the root of being able to cast a vision going forward?  There is – we call it the power to dream.  Dream is the power within a leader to reach forward to something which you do not yet possess and its roots lay in healing our ability to desire things.

DGT Episode 214 - The Desire At The Heart Of Dreams - AUDEO Part 12

In this chapter, Tim introduces the section “Align Everything”. If our new vision as a parish is to make disciples, we should re-analyze everything we do as a parish in light of that core mission. We call this mission alignment; drifting away from that mission causes dysfunction.

Hierarchy of gratitude:
<ol>
 	<li>God</li>
 	<li>Our Parents</li>
 	<li>The person that excels in dignity, from whom general favors proceed</li>
 	<li>A benefactor from whom we have received particular and private favors</li>
</ol> 
Summa - the natural order requires that he who has received a favor should, by repaying the favor, turn to his benefactor according to the mode of each.[1]

The grateful person sees reality as it is. Everything as gift.

<ol>
 	<li>Prayer, prayer, prayer</li>
 	<li>Surround yourself with people who are grateful for life
<ol>
 	<li>Attitudes are contagious</li>
</ol> 
</li>
 	<li>Materialism fuels our ingratitude
<ol>
 	<li>Before we make purchases (planned or otherwise) say a prayer</li>
 	<li>Instead of rewarding children with things, reward them with experiences</li>
</ol> 
</li>
</ol> 
<ol>
 	<li>        Will this gift end up in the trash in a week?</li>
</ol> 
<ol>
 	<li>Refusing to forgive is a major obstacle to gratitude
<ol>
 	<li>Failure to forgive places burdens on our soul</li>
</ol> 
</li>
 	<li>Worry and Anxiety also lead us away from gratitude
<ol>
 	<li>“Have no anxiety at all, but in everything, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, make your requests known to God.  Then the peace of God that surpasses all understanding will guard your hearts and minds in Christ Jesus” Philippians 4:6-7</li>
 	<li>There is a direct link between screen time and anxiety</li>
</ol> 
</li>
 	<li>Practice custody of our language
<ol>
 	<li>Just like custody of the eyes.  Grumbling or venting does not help, it is a consummation with our interior feelings.  Stop complaining, be happier</li>
</ol> 
</li>
 	<li>Regular confession
<ol>
 	<li>Meditate on our Lord’s mercy</li>
</ol> 
</li>
 	<li>Memento Mori
<ol>
 	<li>Having Heaven as our context helps us be grateful for everything, especially our trials</li>

Hierarchy of Gratitude

Making decisions is one of the most important aspects of leadership.  Our people count on us to make decisions and to make them well.  And the decisions of a leader can jeopardize or bless the entire organization.  But making choices is not something that comes easy.  How do we know which of the many possible good things to choose from is the right one?  For a Christian, Christ comes to bring us clarity.  But what does this clarity look like?  How are we supposed to know what God’s will is and what we are supposed to do.

Men today are under siege. Our faith is mocked. Our masculinity is sidelined. Brotherhood fails around us. It’s a crisis like we’ve never seen before. How do we turn it around? | <a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https:/heroicmen.org/alliance">Join the Heroic Alliance | Learn more!</a>500 years before Christ, King Nebuchadnezzar, the greatest warrior-king of the Babylonian empire rounded up and targeted the best Hebrew young men. He brainwashed their religion out of them, stripped them of their Hebrew identity, and demanded that they abandon their God - or face death.Today, Big Tech and broken education are brainwashing our children. Our youth have been robbed of their Christian identity. We are being challenged to abandon God. In those days of Hebrew persecution, Daniel and three men of heroic virtue refused to back down. They set an example of unfailing heroism in the middle of a brutal culture siege.What kind of men are we today? Do we know how to step up and take a stand for our faith, our families, and our future?Deacon Harold Burke-Sivers challenges men to join him live for a half hour of powerful storytelling, practical wisdom, and a roadmap to build the habits of a Heroic Man."Knowing that other men share my experience in this siege against my faith, my family, and my brothers, is crucial.

In this engaging conversation, Fr. James Mallon discusses his journey as a parish priest in Nova Scotia, emphasizing the urgent need for parish renewal and the formation of disciples. He reflects on the challenges facing the modern church, including the alarming statistics regarding the beliefs of self-identified Catholics. The discussion also touches on the importance of St. Joseph in the faith and concludes with a light-hearted exchange about whiskey and cooking.
takeaways
<ul>
 <li>Fr. James is passionate about parish renewal for evangelization.</li>
 <li>Revitalization of the parish is a pressing task for the church.</li>
 <li>Viability of a parish is not the only measure of success.</li>
 <li>Many Catholics identify as such without understanding core beliefs.</li>
 <li>The Eucharist is often misunderstood among self-identified Catholics.</li>
 <li>St. Joseph serves as a model of humility and obedience.</li>
 <li>Culinary skills can foster community and friendship.</li>
 <li>Whiskey tasting can be an art form, much like faith.</li>
 <li>The importance of personal faith in the life of a disciple.</li>
 <li>Discipleship involves both formation and evangelization.</li>
</ul>

About the Topic:
Many times when we sin, it is because we have entertained a disorder and perceived it to be good. When we do sin many times it is hard to forget about what we have done and we can glorify the sin. "Forgiveness of sins by God is precisely the highest and the most eminent form of the purification of memory. That is because the divine forgiveness really erases and destroys the sin, so that its weight does not burden the conscience anymore."
How we can help purify the mind: 1. Confession 2. Adoration and an increase in prayer life which increases the theological virtue of hope 3 Holy thoughts and images.

WOF 128: Kids Q&A with Bishop Barron

This is the Every Catholic Man Gospel Devotional, where a man can draw closer to Jesus Christ, learn the Catholic faith and grow in happiness by becoming a better Catholic Son and Catholic Father Today we recall how Jesus used His Divine Power to miraculously cure a man who was paralyzed for 38 years and overturn false understanding of how to keep the Sabbath. We’ll reflect upon need for every Catholic man to grow in the Virtue of Obedience so he can obediently keep and reap the blessings of the Sabbath. We’ll also consider the importance for every Catholic man to build the Virtue of Vindication so he can accept the guilt of his sins and make reparations.

Episode 44 - Jesus miraculously heals a severely crippled man - Tuesday March 21, 2023 - Jn 5:1-16

The anointing of the sick is administered to bring spiritual and even physical strength during an illness, especially near the time of death. It is most likely one of the last sacraments one will receive. A sacrament is an outward sign established by Jesus Christ to confer inward grace. In more basic terms, it is a rite that is performed to convey God’s grace to the recipient, through the power of the Holy Spirit.  Deacon Harold goes deeper and also looking into Soulful Psalm 20.

Anointing of the Sick

For many Christians today, obedience is one of the hardest things to master.  Afterall, what exactly is its value?  Why should we try and inculcate a spirit of obedience?  How do we keep from being obedient and servile at the same time?  Christ speaks in John 6 of how He came to do the will of the Father and how this will of the Father is a good thing.  Let’s listen to His word.

DGT Episode 73 - Christ's Mission, Our Mission Part 7 - To Do The Will Of The One Who Sent Me

The Holy Spirit is at the heart of everything we’ve talked about so far in this True Transformation series. It’s the Holy Spirit who gives us the strength to fast, the desire to pray, and every grace that flows from the Sacraments. And yet, when we decide we want to make a change and seek to be transformed by God, we so often try to take it all on ourselves, and we can become self-reliant. Jesus didn’t want that for us; He told us He’d send the Advocate, the Holy Spirit, to give us the power and peace that we need — if we let Him.

Join John and Victor as they talk about the ways in which the Holy Spirit has ushered true transformation into their lives, and how you can do the same.

Cajetan Mary da Bergamo
<blockquote>"In Paradise, there are many Saints who never gave alms on earth: their poverty justified them. There are many Saints who never mortified their bodies by fasting, or wearing hair shirts: their bodily infirmities excused them. There are many Saints too who were not virgins: their vocation was otherwise. But in Paradise, there is no Saint who was not humble." - Fr. Cajetan Mary da Bergamo</blockquote>
<h2>Twelve  Steps  of  Humility</h2>
Step 1. A first step is taken when one consciously obeys all of God’s commandments, never ignoring them but always holding within himself a fear of God in his heart.
Step 2. The second step is achieved when one thinks not about pleasing himself but instead follow the injunction of the Lord.
Step 3. The third step is reached when out of love of God, one obediently submits to a superior in imitation of the Lord.
Step 4. The fourth step is achieved when one, under obedience, patiently and quietly endures all thing that are inflicted on him.  It should make no difference whether the trials are painful, unjust or even completely beyond his understanding; he should neither tire nor give up.
Step 5. The fifth step is reached when one humbly discloses to his superior all the evil thoughts in his heart, as well as those faults and evil acts he has actually committed.
Step 6. To achieve the sixth step one must without qualms accept all that is crude and harsh; at all times he considers himself a poor and worthless workman.
Step 7. The seventh step is attained when one not only confesses that he is an inferior and common wretch, but believes it to his very core.  He must be willing to humble himself.
Step 8. One reaches the eighth step of humility when he does only that which is demanded by the common rule of his seniors.
Step 9. The ninth step can be achieved when one, practicing silence, only speaks when asked a question.
Step 10. The tenth step is climbed when one restrains himself from undue laughter and frivolity.
Step 11. To reach the eleventh step one must speak gently, without jests, but simply, seriously, tersely, rationally and softly.
Step 12. The final step is attained only when one can at all times show humility not only in his appearance and actions, but also in his heart.

Why a Family Became Catholic

This is an unusual episode. Instead of looking to Aquinas we look to the Song of Songs and I share a few thoughts on it and how it relates to the spiritual life. <a href= "http://www.pintswithaquias.com">www.pintswithaquias.com</a> SPONSORS EL Investments: <a href= "https://www.elinvestments.net/pints">https://www.elinvestments.net/pints</a> Exodus 90: <a href= "https://exodus90.com/mattfradd/">https://exodus90.com/mattfradd/</a>  Hallow: <a href= "http://hallow.app/mattfradd">http://hallow.app/mattfradd</a>  STRIVE: <a href= "https://www.strive21.com/">https://www.strive21.com/</a>  GIVING Patreon: <a href= "https://www.patreon.com/mattfradd">https://www.patreon.com/mattfradd</a> This show (and all the plans we have in store) wouldn't be possible without you.

41.5: Jesus Christ, the fulfillment of all desire

I think that most of us feel that when you do something heroic you should be recognized for it.  Almost like, “Good heroes usually win.”  In the story of St. John Bosco, however, this was not the case.  He had to defend himself, work hard, be under appreciated, and make his case boldly in a situation where people did not believe in him, or make it easy for him.  His is a story of true heroism.

Melody Lyons | What Healing Truly Is (Best of)

I’d like to tell you of St. Margaret Clitherow, the patron saint of Catholic businesswomen and entrepreneurs.  This incredible woman left a legacy of courage as she gave up her life harboring priests and inspired her children to dedicating their lives to God as well.  Listen in to this amazing tale of leadership from the inside.

How a Protestant Author Discovered Authority Beyond Sola Scriptura | Guest Paul McCusker

Truth, beauty, and goodness are the three transcendentals that draw people to belief in God. As important as rational arguments and beautiful artwork are for preserving and sharing the faith, Christian goodness has proven to be an explosively powerful means of evangelization over the centuries.

WOF 067: Evangelizing with Goodness

<h3>Naz, High School Chaplain and father of twin baby boys</h3>
Sean, wanting to encourage locally, pours himself a dram of Rupert’s Exceptional Canadian Whisky from Eau Claire Distillery, Turner Valley, Alberta Canada. &nbsp;Naz, on the other hand, needs all the supernatural help he can get to raise his twin boys, and so turns to Mystic Monk Tea while we enjoy this repartay.
Come and hear how an angry and cynical sometimes atheist, sometimes agnostic young Muslim boy has come to know the Peace of God, his conversion to Catholicism and how today he models fatherhood for students in the High School he works at as a Chaplain.
