The Manly Catholic: Training Soldiers for Christ

From the 28th Sunday in Ordinary Time, Fr. Dom challenges us to be a saint. Because really, what else is there? He also discusses the recent canonization of Saint Giuseppe Alamano and emphasizes the importance of striving for sainthood in our daily lives. He explores the divine nature of the Catholic Church, the significance of serving others, and the true essence of giving, which goes beyond material gifts to sharing the Catholic faith. Finally, he encourages us to embrace our call to be saints and to actively participate in the mission of the Church.
