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 Possession of Truth and Liberation from Sin |
|
|
|
R. Alleluia, alleluia.
I am the way and the truth and the life, says the Lord;
no one comes to the Father except through me.
R. Alleluia, alleluia.
* [14:6] The truth: in John, the divinely revealed reality of the Father manifested in the person and works of Jesus. The possession of truth confers knowledge and liberation from sin (Jn 8:32).

"Needing to go to Confession is like needing to check in with a doctor regarding our physical health. We cannot afford to neglect spiritual doctoring of our souls anymore than we can afford to neglect a physical doctor of our bodies. The Sacrament of Penance also works for a healthy life. Mature and healthy men are men who can take themselves to task, recognize their mistakes and take aim to correct those mistakes for the sake of positive connections with their spouse, their children, their friends, the people they work with and, therefore our God. ...
Check your parish confession schedule or some parish, shrine or oratory that has a regular confession schedule."
~ Bishop Joseph N Perry - How to Make a Confession

The best way to build trust with others, is to be truthful with transparency.
When we rationalize, or cloud things over because we are afraid how others will respond to us, then are we being true to ourselves?
If we don't know who we are, then how can we expect to be transparent with others, to trust the person they think we are.
Thanks for Reading.
Make it a great week. See you back here again next Monday.
