In the ascent towards holiness and happiness, a Catholic man must build the good habits (Virtue, from the Latin, vir, meaning “manliness, moral strength, goodness, valor”) of the moral life and break the bad habits (Vice, from the Latin, vitium, meaning “defect, offense, blemish, imperfection”) which cause him to fall into sin and risk losing his salvation. The Church provides a comprehensive list of Virtues which fall into two major categories: Theological Virtues (Supernatural) and Cardinal Virtues (Human). Because it is impossible for a mere man ascend to Heaven on his own ability, God grants every Catholic man the supernatural help to grow in Virtue through the Gifts of the Holy Spirit which are freely available to every Catholic man who remains in a state of grace; even if a Catholic man falls into mortal sin and loses the Gifts of the Holy Spirit, he can repent, confess his sins in the Sacrament of Penance and return to a state of grace and regain access to the Gifts of the Holy Spirit. What a man needs to break Vice and build Virtue is to come to understand Vice and Virtue and then seek God’s help. To help men understand Virtue and Vice and take concrete action, <a href='http://everycathoicman.com/'>EveryCathoicMan.com</a> has developed the Litanies of Virtue.<a href='https://everycatholicman.com/overview-of-vice-virtue-and-the-holy-spirit/'>To learn more about Vice, Virtue and the Gifts and Fruits of the Holy Spirit, go to EveryCatholicMan.com.</a> <a href='https://everycatholicman.com/litany-of-diligence-against-sloth/'>To see a written  version of the Litany of Diligence go to EveryCatholicMan.com</a>.

Rest in the Lord
Richard once again shares the wisdom gained from his experiences on the road. He speaks of understanding that vanity comes in many forms that we may not recognize. He desires to live as a true disciple, giving God his time and attention when he should - even if it means getting a good night's sleep so he can safely participate in sharing the journey with his friends and being able to focus on what God has given him to do in each moment.

Wisdom From The Road Richard 3

God loves you. He loves you and the same Power that rose Jesus from the dead abides in you ... because he loves you. Because he loves you, you will change the entire course of Human History, if you are obedient to just one thing ...

Nefarious is hitting the theatres by storm. Highly endorsed by many Catholic priests, including Cardinal Raymond Burke, for its accurate portrayal of the demonic, Nefarious will leave you on the edge of your seat wanting more.  As ChurchPop states on its website summarizing the plot, "On the day of his scheduled execution, a convicted serial killer gets a psychiatric evaluation during which he claims he is a demon, and further claims that before their time is over, the psychiatrist will commit three murders of his own."Several priests, including Cardinal Raymond Burke and exorcist Fr. Carlos Martins, recommend "Nefarious." The writers and directors of the film also brought audiences Abby Johnson's "Unplanned" movie." From roofs blowing off of houses to multiple car crashes effecting many of the crew members, Nefarious is a movie the demons don't want you to see. Join James as he interviews Cary Solomon, co-director and producer of the movie. Like what you heard? Maybe you just enjoy reading James’s show notes?

Ep 75 - Nefarious, Psychopath or Demon?

Where citizens are oppressed by a public authority overstepping its competence, they should not protest against those things which are objectively required for the common good; but it is legitimate for them to defend their own rights and the rights of their fellow citizens against the abuse of this authority, while keeping within those limits drawn by the natural law and the Gospels. Deacon Harold talks about this further today. Also looking into Soulful Psalm  40:17-18

Is it possible to be a committed Christian working in finance? The answer isn't obvious, and yes, we're looking at you fellow finance professionals.In this episode, we discuss the morality of finance as an industry. Working in the industry, professionals spend a lot of time managing other people's money and being told how to manage it in a lot of cases. This can often pose a conflict with a Christian's values if they are asked to manage money in a way that might be immoral. With some ref...

It’s common place to hear people say that things are happening today that have never happened before and that social tensions today are unique.  However true that statement might be it needs to be grounded in history.  In point of fact, the political tensions, the social tensions we suffer from today have roots as far back as the industrial era.  Encyclical “Rerum Novarum” by Pope Leo XIII addressed many of these tensions and by studying them we can gain jewels of wisdom for our approach today.

Grace Prompts a Catholic Conversion

Hello again! Welcome to Episode 3, "The Manly Dillema." Today,  James and Father Dom  continue their epic discussion Bishop Olmsted's gut-punching "Into the Breach." Bishop Olmsted asks three important questions in his exhortation that he addresses: 1. What does it mean to be a Christian man? 2. How does a Catholic man love? 3. Why is fatherhood, fully understood, crucial for every man? Within those questions, he discusses three primary contexts to shape and mold the questions: 1. A New Apostolic Moment - The "New Evangelization" 2. A Field Hospital and a Battle College 3. Man and Woman are Complementary, not Competitors This episode dropped all sorts of nuggets so make sure you tune in! You don't want to miss  how this podcast is single-handedly trying to fulfill the call of the new evangelization, why the Church tends to the wounded from the spiritual battle with Satan and his demons (another epic novel idea), and why men and women are indeed different but they are in fact on the same team.  DO NOT FORGET James' Challenge. Yes, James stole Father Dom's game. Men, get to confession. No matter how long it has been, no matter what is holding you back, get to confession. Get in a state of grace first and foremost and allow God to work in your life. I, James, dread going to confession every time, but I leave feeling a weight has been lifted from my heart and soul. The Lord truly heals and gives us such a tremendous gift with confession.

Ep. 3 - A Manly Dilemma

Jesus Christ is born in poverty to the Blessed Virgin Mary and St. Joseph in Bethlehem and is accompanied by an army of of angels. Every Catholic man can grow in happiness by seeking the Gift of the Fear of the Lord so he can be drawn to God and by building the Virtue of Generosity so he can always be exceedingly generous to the poor.

EP 84 Q&A With Fr.Larry Richards - The Reason For Our Hope Foundation

In this episode, Dr. Phil Chavez explains that being a Beloved Son of the Father means to move steadily in Christ. Life is not about going to heaven and having needs met along the way. 

The journey of a Son is to be formed in God’s Image. A true Son takes interest in what gives God glory. One brings change in the world by reforming oneself to become the Salt of the earth and the Light of the world. Learn more ideas on how to manifest Christ in a difficult world.

S2- Case #15 "A Family Affair", Pt 1

One day away. Palm Sunday is tomorrow. Holy Week’s knocking. Are you ready? I’m diving into the privileges of devotion to St. Joseph, pulling from Father Calloway’s Consecration to St. Joseph and the wisdom of saints like St. Josemaría Escrivá. Today’s about why loving St. Joseph matters. Blessed Maria Teresa of St. Joseph went from a Protestant home to a nun, leaning on him through rejection and hardship. Venerable Mary of Ágreda lists seven graces he brings like purity, a happy death, and terrifying demons. Our Lady herself told mystics his intercession’s unmatched. Why? He loved Jesus and Mary most after God, living humility and silence we can’t fathom. Here’s your challenge: Reflect on your Lent. How’s it going? Slipped up? Forgotten your goals? Look to St. Joseph’s obedience and quiet strength—make this Holy Week your best yet.  Men, Satan hates Joseph’s power. Want to shield your family and grow closer to Christ? Devotion to him is your weapon.  Products/References Mentioned:  <ul><li>Consecration to St. Joseph by Father Donald Calloway  </li><li>The Mystical City of God by Venerable Mary of Ágreda  </li><li>St. Josemaría Escrivá’s quote on St. Joseph</li></ul>Powerful Quotes:  <ol><li>“He is the person who has most loved God after our mother. He deserves your affection and it will do you good to get to know him because he is the master of the interior life.”  </li><li>“In virtue of these special privileges, the intercession of St. Joseph is most powerful… for attaining the virtue of purity and overcoming the sensual inclinations of the flesh.”  </li><li>“The whole human race has much undervalued the privileges and prerogatives conceded to my blessed spouse, and they know not what his intercession with God is able to do.”</li></ol>Key Takeaway: Pause today—reflect on St. Joseph’s silence and humility. Apply it now to refocus your Lent and enter Holy Week with purpose.  <a href="https://www.buzzsprout.com/twilio/text_messages/1766613/open_sms" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">Send us a text</a> <a rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://buymeacoffee.com/tmc">Support the show</a>Please prayerfully consider supporting the podcast on our <a href="https://buymeacoffee.com/tmc" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">Buy Me A Coffee </a>page. to help grow the show to reach as many men as possible!

ILT Ep 30 Alvaro de Vicente

So much of our struggle in life comes down to one question: do we know who we are in God?

In this episode, John welcomes Carrie Daunt—wife, mother of nine, and speaker with the John Paul II Healing Center—for a powerful conversation on identity and family life. Carrie shares how her newest book, Beloved Son, helps parents speak truth into their children’s hearts, and why reclaiming our identity as beloved sons and daughters of the Father is the foundation for healing and freedom.

Carrie and John also reflect on the challenges men and women face in living out their vocations, the importance of fathers manning their post, and how ordering our lives with God at the center changes everything.

Leadership Lessons from a Global Leader with Alpha International w/ Shaila Visser

EP 114 Q&A With Fr. Larry Richards - The Reason For Our Hope Foundation

Not a deep dive into scripture, but a casual reflection into the works of the Early Church and other powerful Heroes of our faith, like Elijah. Some terms:
"Crucible" (from the Latin, "crux"): A situation of severe trial, or in which different elements interact, leading to the creation of something new (Source: lexico.com: <a href="https://www.lexico.com/definition/crucible" target="_blank">https://www.lexico.com/definition/crucible</a>).
Cheesecloth: Okay, truth be told, I've never used cheesecloth--nor have I ever seen anyone use it. For those Chefs out there that might stumble on this episode, in the immortal words of Elvis: "Have mercy!" For people like me who've never touched the stuff, here's this: <a href="https://www.leaf.tv/articles/how-to-strain-with-a-cheesecloth/" target="_blank">https://www.leaf.tv/articles/how-to-strain-with-a-cheesecloth/</a>
 
Prayer to St. Michael the Archangel: "St. Michael, the Archangel, defend us in this day of battle; be our safeguard against the wickedness and snares of the Devil. May God rebuke him and do thou, O Prince of the Heavenly Host--by the Power of God--cast into Hell Satan and all evil spirits who prowl throughout the world seeking the ruin of Souls. Amen."
