That Man is You! hosted by St Joe's. Paradisus Dei's TMIY is a leadership program for Catholic men in the modern world. We begin each session with great coffee.
Our TMIY Spanish track offered this reflection for our @StJoesParishTR outdoor Stations of the Cross last night:
"When God wanted David to be king, he didn't give him a crown. He brought him a Goliath. "
Trials prepare you for your purpose.

We fly to your protection,
O Holy Mother of God;
despise not our petitions
in our necessities,
but deliver us always
from all dangers,
O glorious and blessed Virgin.
#Amen
Today is Saint Stephen’s “birthday”. Seeing with the eyes of faith is to see no longer mere darkness, even in death, for Martyrdom is a birth into heaven. Everything Stephen does and says represents the divine love that appeared in Jesus, the Light that shines in our darkness. #Christmas
The true light that enlightens every man was coming into the world...
to all who received him, who believed in his name, he gave power to become children of God; who were born, not of blood nor of the will of the flesh nor of the will of man, but of God.

"That Man is You! honestly addresses the pressures and temptations that men face in our modern culture, especially those relating to their roles as husbands and fathers." - https://t.co/cKGtAcsMJn #CatholicPrayer#CatholicDadsHQ#CatholicDads#Catholic#AMDG#virtues#Police #ICEgov #ServantLeadership
Saints Pier Giorgio Frassati and Carlo Acutis are an invitation to all of us, especially young people, not to squander our lives, but to direct them upwards and make them masterpieces. https://t.co/aXAe9fjN35
"Unfortunately, we live in an age that doesn't believe that some things are true and some things are always wrong. It doesn't believe in objective realities, and it certainly doesn't believe in the existence of evil."
Our age is wrong.
-University President, Father Dave Pivonka
Gospel of the Day (Matthew 23,23-26)
"Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, you hypocrites. You cleanse the outside of cup and dish, but inside they are full of plunder and self-indulgence. Blind Pharisee, cleanse first the inside of the cup, so that the outside also may be clean."

I pose a question that each of us can ask ourselves: Do I deprive myself of something to give to the poor? When I give alms, do I touch the hand of the poor and look them in the eye? Brothers and sisters, let us not forget that the poor cannot wait!
