Man Fully Alive

May the Lord guide us through this week. Nohing is more masculine than holiness. Pursue it with your whole self this week.

Spiritual musings for men pursuing a better life.

Sunday Gospel reflections... for men.

We are reeling this week with the news of what happened in Pennsylvania. Our Lord did not fail us but many of our clergy did and we are praying for healing and justice to be swift and certain. God have mercy on all parties involved. 

Lean into the reading this week and let us evaluate who we choose to surround ourselves with and the changes they bring about in us. Ask yourself: Am I more holy today by those I surround myself with? Am I brought closer to the Lord by who I spend time with?

The Eucharist IS the Body, Blood, Soul and Divinity of Christ. We should take Christ at his word for he can neither deceive nor be deceived thus he is trustworthy. This means that what his church teaches about the Eucharist is also trustworthy and we are called to reach deeply into our soul and ask ourselves the hard question. Do I beleive? Is the Eucharist real? Does the answer form the way I live my life and if I don't know the answer am I seeking it through prayer, sacrments and spiritual direction?

We long for food. We drive to have it. We have cravings for it. We indulge in it. How often do we get together solely to enjoy it. However, we have access through Christ to food that satisfies for eternity. The food Jesus speaks of in this case IS himself. He is the passover lamb. Have a listen.
