Fostering Catholic Men in personal holiness, to make Jesus Christ the center of our daily lives, is part of our mission at Catholic Men Chicago Southland. One of the best ways to live out our spiritual journey as Catholic men is to learn from each other in community. Here is some spiritual inspiration to get your week started! |

1658 We must also remember the great number of single persons who, because of the particular circumstances in which they have to live—often not of their choosing—are especially close to Jesus’ heart and therefore deserve the special affection and active solicitude of the Church, especially of pastors. Many remain without a human family, often due to conditions of poverty. Some live their situation in the spirit of the Beatitudes, serving God and neighbor in exemplary fashion. The doors of homes, the “domestic churches,” and of the great family which is the Church must be open to all of them. “No one is without a family in this world: the Church is a home and family for everyone, especially those who ‘labor and are heavy laden.’”172 (2231, 2233)

A Dad's job is to balance out what Mom says, because there is something about the voice of Dad that determines in our kids the image they see of themselves as a person and member of society.
In other words, Moms do the nurturing, but it is Dad who provides respect and stability in our kids through, not long conversations but, little snippets of (Godly) wisdom.

We would like to thank you,
We’re able to offer free online resources to Catholic men in Chicagoland Southland and around the world because people like you give financially what they think is fair. We do this because we think the ability for men to grow in holiness is fundamental, and we think everyone deserves access to world class information. By allowing members of our apostolate community to pick their own gift makes sure everyone can access the tools they need (without subscribers, membership fees, or a pay wall) as Jesus did with His own ministry on earth.
The CMCS-Team serves all of this with passion and pride – for you. And while we are not in this to “make money”, like all Catholic apostolates we need to pay the bills to keep doing debt free what we do – in an ethical way.
