If we understand the Mass, we will better enter into it. The Mass is not meant for us, but for God. It is primarily about worship, but there are other purposes for the Mass.
We’ve all heard the grim statics about the Church and our children maintaining the Catholic Faith. A standout part of these studies is a Father's overwhelming impact on improving the likelihood of their child following Jesus.
A father’s work is cultivated in the home, doing the difficult things like creating order, discipline, and structure. A father’s work demands that we engage in family life, not just be casual observers.
I have the privilege of speaking with Fr. Roger Landry, who embarked on an extraordinary 1,200-mile plus Eucharistic pilgrimage across the United States while carrying Christ. We explore the profound impact of bringing Jesus in the Eucharist to tens of thousands of people, where even the most indifferent hearts were moved. Fr. Landry shares stories of people stopping their cars, stepping onto the scalding asphalt to kneel in reverence, and experiencing conversions of heart amidst a world often filled with loneliness and apathy. He even had the opportunity to offer a procession in a prison yard, leading something that has likely never happened before in the United States of America. Despite facing some insults, the journey was marked by overwhelming love and transformation. Join us as we delve into these powerful moments of faith and devotion.
We find ourselves in unprecedented times, where over 69% of Church going Catholics no longer believe in the unchanging dogma of Christ's presence in the Eucharist. This is a grave problem that all men must ask themselves: Why? Fr. Donald Calloway joins John Heinen to discuss the reasons this has been an increasing problem over the last 50 years and the solutions. Reverence and love of Christ in the Eucharist is paramount to getting to heaven and there are actions that everyone can do now. In addition, we discuss his newest book on the Eucharist and the Mass that will help you be a better son or daughter of the Church. This is a great conversation with practical steps we can all use.
A man’s concept of God shapes the most significant aspects of who he is. At the same time, the idea a man has of God is usually not chosen – he learns it by observing the manner in which other men he respects relate to God.
When well-meaning liturgists and priests feel they have to make everything in the liturgy emotionally relevant and “meaningful” to everyone, many men switch off. When Father Fabulous insists on being emotionally entertaining in the liturgy he is likely to please the women while the fellas roll their eyes.
Some of the “ways” are just for men, and because of that we need to allow a space that is just for boys, and every Catholic Church has that space, that workshop, in the sanctuary.
