At the final judgement I would rather be guilty of gullibility than cynicism.

[Mario Porreca @MarioPorreca]

Truth—Real men strive daily to conform to Christ. He is the only one worth imitating. The Saints are real examples for us, all of which point to Him. I love the Saints and pray for their intercession daily, but all truth and goodness comes from and points to Jesus Christ.

[Catholic Manhood ❤️‍🔥 @bethecreed]

Dear fellow Men,

Andrew Tate and Nietzsche are not men to create your personality around.

Conform to Christ. Look to the Saints. Here is a short list of men you can look up to in building a good life and live manfully.

1. Jesus Christ
2. St. Joseph
3. St. Francis of Assisi...

What he said 👇🏻

[David Pollack @davidpollack47]

I'm not ashamed of the Good News about Christ. Its the power of God at work-saving everyone who believes. Rm 1:16

Obviously, I’m not trying to win the approval of people but of God. If pleasing people were my goal-I wouldn't be Christ’s servant. Gal 1:10 #LearningInTheJourney 👇🏽

The joy of loving Jesus is a joy like no other. Amen to deepening that joy and sharing it with others in 2023 and beyond!

[Abp. José H. Gomez @ArchbishopGomez]

We need to use this new year to rediscover the joy of loving Jesus. We need to rediscover the joy of being children of God!
