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 are some suggestions to get your week started! |

R. Alleluia, alleluia.
O happy Virgin, you gave birth to the Lord;
O blessed mother of the Church,
you warm our hearts with the Spirit of your Son Jesus Christ.
R. Alleluia, alleluia.

O God, Father of mercies,
whose Only Begotten Son, as he hung upon the Cross,
chose the Blessed Virgin Mary, his Mother,
to be our Mother also,
grant, we pray, that with her loving help
your Church may be more fruitful day by day
and, exulting in the holiness of her children,
may draw to her embrace all the families of the peoples.
Through our Lord Jesus Christ, your Son,
who lives and reigns with you in the unity of the Holy Spirit,
one God, for ever and ever.

"Although we may not feel like it at this moment, the Eucharistic celebration is exactly the right time to say Yes to God. It’s the right time for us to listen, to question, and to obey in faith. We are called to be like Mary—open to God’s gracious will. She gave her “fiat,” her “may it be done to me.” At this Eucharist, we say our “amen” to the Lord who become human and offered His life for our salvation. To Him be glory and praise for ever and ever."
~ Deacon John Rangel

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.
