Today's guest is Chris Bruno, the founder of the Restoration Project which is an initiative to help men experience healing and become whole through it. We discuss his book, "Sage: A Man's Guide Into His Second Passage," and the 6 stages of the masculine journey. Chris shares his testimony, about his family life, and his writing process which included a pilgrimage to Ireland! This conversation was deep and we hope it blesses you, whether you're journeying through your own manhood or helping your son journey through his. His other books are: "Man Maker Project: A Father's Guide to Initiating His Son to Manhood" and "Brotherhood Primer: A Man's Guide To Turning Buddies Into Brothers." <a title="smartCard-inline" href= "https://www.amazon.com/stores/author/B00UU5E1S2/allbooks?ingress=0&visitId=74352286-5305-4332-a14d-572bca4948b6&store_ref=ap_rdr&linkCode=sl2&tag=restoratio04e-20&linkId=23ed88c0c4e5887e420004b1e2b94e84&language=en_US&ref_=as_li_ss_tl" target="_blank" rel= "nofollow noopener noreferrer ugc">https://www.amazon.com/stores/author/B00UU5E1S2/allbooks?ingress=0&visitId=74352286-5305-4332-a14d-572bca4948b6&storeref=ap_rdr&linkCode=sl2&tag=restoratio04e-20&linkId=23ed88c0c4e5887e420004b1e2b94e84&language=en_US&ref=as_li_ss_tl</a> Subscribe/Rate Never miss out on an episode by subscribing to the podcast on whatever platform you are listening on.

The Stages of the Masculine Journey w/ Chris Bruno

Back when I worked as an apologist with Catholic Answers we received a lot of questions around this time of year. Perhaps the most common was, "are Sunday's excluded from Lent?" The answer is . . . are you ready for this? No. Sunday's are not excluded from Lent. According to the <a href= "https://www.ewtn.com/library/CURIA/CDWLITYR.HTM" target="_blank" rel="noopener">General Norms for the Liturgical Year and the Calendar</a>, "Lent runs from Ash Wednesday until the Mass of the Lord's Supper exclusive" (28). No exceptions are given for Sunday's during Lent. In fact, a couple of paragraphs later the GN says: "The Sundays of this season are called the First, Second, Third, Fourth, and Fifth Sundays of Lent. The Sixth Sunday, which marks the beginning of Holy Week, is called Passion Sunday (Palm Sunday)" (30). So there you have it. Now, does that mean that we cannot choose to allow ourselves the things we voluntarily gave up for lent? No, it doesn't. These voluntary fasts are personal devotions. Because they have been voluntarily taken up, we can choose to set them aside. That said, be awesome and sacrifice this Lent. What my P.E coach told me in middle-school applies to Lent also, "mate, if it's not hurting, you're not doing it right."

Religious Life, Helping the Poor, and St. Francis (Fr. Mark-Mary Ames) | Ep. 487

Today we'll take a look at what Thomas Aquinas has to say about our Lord's words in Matthew 6:5: "And when you pray, you must not be like the hypocrites. For they love to stand and pray in the synagogues and at the street corners, that they may be seen by others. Truly, I say to you, they have received their reward." That's right ... we're looking at one verse. Why not two? Because you can't handle two! ... and Neither can I.
