From Today’s Readings:
Alleluia HB 4:12
R. Alleluia, alleluia.
The word of God is living and effective,
able to discern reflections and thoughts of the heart.
R. Alleluia, alleluia.
Are we willing to place our lives in the care of the God who created us out of love? Or do we know better than God about our needs?
Here are some ways to support living as a Practicing Catholic Man right now today:
Prayer: Ten minutes each day, tell Jesus how much you love him, and make time to listen to the Holy Spirit speak to you.
Reading: Subscribe to a daily Catholic devotional or read your Bible. Tip: Ask God to speak to you, and then open the Bible and start reading the first thing that jumps off the page at you. IT WORKS!!
Virtues: Read Bishop Perry’s Virtues of a Catholic Man. Work on one at a time, but make it a goal to work on them. Okay, some guys don’t like goals, so look at them as solving a problem (to grow in virtue).
Support: Join or start a Parish Small Men’s Group. Join the CMCS Blog community and make comments (“Follow” here). Be at the next Bishop’s Men’s Forum each year on the Saturday after Easter Sunday.

God bless your day.

Whatever your challenges are today, remember to take baby steps towards your goals. Ask God to show you the way. Then let Him.
