NEW! The CMCS 'Manhood Monday' Archive is a feature that creates a landing page for all of these newsletters to be stored and shared in one place. Unlike sharing our emails on Facebook or Twitter, our Archive is your own private stash of emails we’ve created in the past few months.
Each entry has its own URL so you can reference or share them on an as-needed basis.

The Light of Christ That Struggles to Shine Through Me |
|
|
R. Alleluia, alleluia.
Jesus preached the Gospel of the Kingdom
and cured every disease among the people.
R. Alleluia, alleluia.
* [4:23–25] This summary of Jesus’ ministry concludes the narrative part of the first book of Matthew’s gospel (Mt 3–4). The activities of his ministry are teaching, proclaiming the gospel, and healing; cf. Mt 9:35.

"At the same time, Lent is a season for reflection, a backward glance at “what I have done and what I have failed to do.” How have my doings and failures obscured the light of Christ that struggles to shine through me? Has my corner of the world been in darkness while I have hidden my light under a secular agenda – getting ahead, being noticed, fitting in, and consuming all sorts of stuff?"

A family goes for a walk in park. Kind of reminds me of the Norman Rockwell artwork "Walking to Church". |

"Pope Francis kicked off the Year of St. Joseph on December 8th and it lasts until this coming December 8th. The Holy Father noted the value of reflecting on St. Joseph at a time when the pandemic has required so many to make hidden sacrifices: "Saint Joseph reminds us that those who appear hidden or in the shadows can play an incomparable role in the history of salvation." The USCCB is coming out with lots of resources to deepen your devotion to the patron of the family and the Universal Church, including the Prayer to St. Joseph after the Rosary and the Litany of St. Joseph."
Also find resources on the Year of St. Joseph on the CMCSMen Blog.
Thanks for Reading.
Make it a great week. See you back here again next Monday.
