It’s happened to most of us guys. You’re at a party. You see this gorgeous girl from across the room. She’s perfect. And then the frantic inner dialogue begins in...

With God all things are possible. I give Him thanks for all the blessings in my life. I’m focused but not finished. Do not give into cynicism, fear, and hopelessness. Let the tests in your lives become testimonies of God’s grace and mercy. There’s no substitute for hard work and determination. Do not be afraid. His grace is sufficient for you.

While a lot of these quotes capture the spirit of St. Francis’s spirituality and witness to Christ, there’s only one in this collection that he actually said. Which one do you think it is? Most Catholics will probably get it wrong. I’ve left a little hint somewhere in this post. Good luck!

To all my brothers in Christ, this is how it’s done. You will miss every shot you don’t take. If I had continued to feed into my insecurities and fears of rejection as a young man, I would have never asked out my wife, gone on that first date, asked her to marry me, gotten married, and started a family with her. Brothers, get right with God, order your life and do the work in the areas you need to grow, and when you see that gorgeous girl, introduce yourself, have a good chat, and then ask her out. 🫡

Comment Truthly if you’d like to be able to:
✅ Get solid answers to any or your questions about Catholicism within seconds!
✅ Be able to respond articulately to questions and comments from family, friends, and random people who think they know what the Church teaches (but actually don’t 😅)!
✅ Be a witness to people who genuinely need Christ today more than ever!
✅ To help you grow in your knowledge of God’s word, Catholic theology, and philosophy! 🫡
✅ If you genuinely disagree with the Catholic faith but always wanted to know what it actually teaches (and not the opinion of pastor who misinformed you about a Catholic matter).
“There are not one hundred people in the US who hate the Catholic Church, but there are millions who hate what they wrongly perceive the Catholic Church to be.” - Archbishop Fulton J. Sheen

In friendships, relationships, work, and in life… Go where you are valued. Throughout my life, I wasted a lot of time, energy, and emotion trying to make certain friendships, relationships, and even professional opportunities work. But I finally came to the harsh but freeing realization that certain people really didn’t value me (based on their repeated words, actions, and indifference). So my options were: I could either keep trying to prove my worth to them, or claim my God given worth and move on.
Today I feel blessed by the love of friends who enjoy my company and who don’t pressure me to be someone I’m not. I feel blessed by my wife and kids who cherish me and love me unconditionally. I feel blessed by the people I get to serve in ministry and who truly believe in my mission. And lastly, I feel blessed by God who always sees the best in me, never grows tired of showing me mercy, and continues to remind me of His unfailing love and purpose in my life.
Ps. On a side note it’s important to mention that any relationship that is worth it will also take hard work, patience, love, forgiveness, and perseverance; but I hope you can discern the essence of what I’m sharing. ❤️🙏🏼

2 years ago, I was blessed to visit the Basilica of Our Lady of Guadalupe on her feast day! 10 years ago, I was blessed to welcome my first born daughter, Audrey, into the world. So thankful for the constant reminder that we have a Mother in Heaven who loves us, prays for us, and desires that we draw near to her Son, our Lord Jesus Christ. 🙏🏼❤️

Which way western woman?
There is no judgment here concerning people who are called to be single, are unable to marry, or are unable to become a mother. But I’m curious to hear people’s thoughts about whether the current trends our western society encourages: Get married much later in life (or not at all), have less kids (or none at all), choose a career over family… Is what truly fulfills a woman’s heart.
Ps I’m not from the tribe that thinks women shouldn’t have a career. That’s a personal discernment. However, I believe that the joys of family life are unmatched by those of a career. While challenging, I have personal friends who are able to balance motherhood and their career well.

While Our Lady was saved by her son, Jesus, on the cross; she was saved in a more excellent way. While we are saved after having sinned & after having inherited original sin, Mary was preserved from both by God when she was immaculately conceived. For example, if a person falls into quicksand and is pulled out, they are saved. But if a person is about to walk right into the quicksand, but is told to avoid that path, they too are saved but in a more excellent manner.
The Archangel Gabriel affirms this when he greets her in Luke 1 28 with the word “Kecharitomene” which in Greek translates to: “You who have been perfected in grace”. In preparation for becoming the worthy dwelling place of God for nine months (ie the Ark of the new covenant), she was granted a singular grace from God that flowed from what He would accomplish on the cross years later.
“O Mary, conceived without sin, pray for us who have recourse to thee.” (Miraculous Medal Prayer given to St. Catherine Laboure)
