*Develop greater trust in God and His mercy
*Fulfill your duties with diligence and balance while serving God and others
*Kindle your prayer life, better utilize your talents, and order your priorities
*Draw more from the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass
Fr. Menezes also incorporates key traditional prayers and litanies for weekly devotions and provides helpful cross-references for personal and group use. This daily spiritual manual will help you grow in knowledge of your faith and gain strength for spiritual battle to more fully become the man you were created and called to be.

Good Goats : Healing Our Image Of God
Read moreWhy is it so important to heal our image of God? It is not so we’ll know what afterlife is like. Rather, it is because we become like the God we adore. We must understand God’s love and grace first and foremost, and in turn we will be able to love other people with grace. Studies have shown that this is true in many aspects of our lives. In marriage, for example, the more a couple experiences God as a lover, the more likely they are to enjoy a wholesome, loving marriage.
