☧ Published on Those Catholic Men. How have you been feeling about the news lately? It seems like the majority of headlines this year have spelled out disaster in countless ways. On the Internet, there is no shortage of 2020-is-the-worst memes that, for many, might land just a little too close to home. Everywhere, there … Continue reading 2020 Sucks: Inspiration From the Prophet Elijah

The Desert of Faith

I said to myself in my good fortune: "I shall never be shaken." O Lord, your favor had set me like a mountain stronghold. Then you hid your face, and I was put to confusion. -Psalm 30:7-8, Revised Grail Psalter In a matter of two sentences, the Psalmist sums up a tremendously complex part of one’s … Continue reading The Desert of Faith

Lent to Easter: Just Add “E”

Featured on Those Catholic Men The transition between Lent and Easter can be difficult. During Lent, we focus on fasting, prayer, and almsgiving in an attempt to show contrition for our sins and to grow closer to God as we prepare for the Holy Triduum: the climax of each liturgical year. We look forward to … Continue reading Lent to Easter: Just Add “E”

Mourning Came, and Fasting Followed

☧ First, I apologize for the bad pun in the title (inspired by Genesis 1)... For some reason, Those Catholic Men still published this article under that title. Anywho... The pillars of our Lenten season are prayer, fasting, and almsgiving. The point of doing these not-so-pleasant things is to have our routine shaken up a … Continue reading Mourning Came, and Fasting Followed

On Manhood and Knowing God

☧ Written for Those Catholic Men. How can anyone know God? How can we plumb the depths or reach the heights of the Infinite? How do we respond to statements like, “See, God is great beyond our knowledge, the number of his years past searching out,” (Job 36:26)? To me, these types of questions and … Continue reading On Manhood and Knowing God

And the Word Was Made Star Stuff

☧ An adaptation of Faith and Reason - Creation and the Cosmos for Those Catholic Men. Against the backdrop of blue skies, crashing waves, and steep, rocky cliffs, and clad in his iconic rust-colored jacket, Carl Sagan uttered perhaps his most famous quote.

Beard Balm and Daily Devotion

☧ Written for Those Catholic Men Last Christmas, my wife gave me a little gift for my newly grown beard: a two-ounce tin of beard balm from Catholic Balm Co.

Husbands, Love Your Wives

☧ Written for Those Catholic Men. The beginning of fall marks the end of the summer wedding season, and as I see the photos of friends, acquaintances, and distant family members getting married, I can’t help but reflect on the classic Catholic wedding photo. The young couple is standing together looking overjoyed at the foot … Continue reading Husbands, Love Your Wives

Be the Custodian of Your Baptism

☧ Published on Those Catholic Men Baptism is a big deal in the Christian life, and for good reason. The Catechism states that baptism "is the basis of the whole Christian life, the gateway to life in the Spirit, and the door which gives access to the other sacraments,'' (CCC 1213). This is pretty profound … Continue reading Be the Custodian of Your Baptism

Lukewarmness

☧ Published on Those Catholic Men Lukewarmness is an inescapable temptation of the Christian faithful, and every person in every vocation at every stage of life must deal with it at one time or another. It can come as a consequence of making God a central part of our daily lives, a consequence of making … Continue reading Lukewarmness
