The Catholic Man [TCM]

Saint John of the Cross December 14 St. John of the Cross, my glorious protector, in your lifetime you were the father of the poor, the consoler of the afflicted and the assured refuge of the suffering; you worked miracles of charity for all, miracles which you repeat even now by means of your holy images and relics. Deign also to be my consoler and my father; comfort me in my sorrows and aid me to see in every cross a pledge of divine mercy that, through the cross, I may gain heaven. Obtain for me, too, the special grace I ask through your intercession, if it be for the glory of God and for my salvation (make request). Amen Three Our Fathers, Hail Marys & Glory be

When the demons see catholic men praying the rosary, it is like seeing a Roman Military Platoon. 📿⚔️ ✝️

St Jerome on the necessity of spiritual vigilance: “If, then, the apostle, who was a chosen vessel [Acts 9:15] separated unto the gospel of Christ, [Galatians 1:15] by reason of the pricks of the flesh and the allurements of vice keeps his body and brings it into subjection, lest when he has preached to others he may himself be a castaway; [1 Cor. 9:27 ] and yet, for all that, sees another law in his members warring against the law of his mind, and bringing him into captivity to the law of sin; if after nakedness, fasting, hunger, imprisonment, scourging and other torments, he turns back to himself and cries ​"​ Oh, wretched man that I am, who shall deliver me from the body of this death? ​"​ [ Romans 7:24 ] do you fancy that you ought to lay aside apprehension?”

"The Blessed Virgin Mary lived without sin. None of the saints besides Her are without sin [Sancta virgo Maria sine ullo vixit peccato. Nullus praeterea sanctorum absque peccato]. We must except the holy Virgin Mary, concerning whom I wish to raise no question when it touches the subject of sins, out of honour to the Lord; for from Him we know what abundance of grace for overcoming sin in every particular was conferred upon her who had the merit to conceive and bear Him who undoubtedly had no sin. With the exception of this Virgin, if we had been able to bring together all those saints during their earthly life and ask them if they were without sin, what do we think their answer would have been? [...] Would they not have cried out with one voice at our eventual question: 'If we say that we are without sin, we deceive ourselves and the truth is not in us'?" St. Augustine, On Nature and Grace, 42 [PL 44:267]

“Blessed is the crisis that made you grow, the fall that made you gaze up to Heaven, the problem that made you look for God!” - St. Padre Pio @TheNewColumbiaMovement

The needs of young men are great. Addressing them today will transform men into the great leaders of tomorrow. Catechize the youth in the Christian faith. Mentor them in valuable skills. Instill a love for nation and family. Build a network to support and defend each other. Artwork: 𝘗𝘰𝘪𝘯𝘵𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘞𝘢𝘺 (1962) by Norman Rockwell @TheNewColumbiaMovement

The Holy Family is the antidote to our times and represents everything that modernity is trying to destroy. St. Joseph = masculinity, noble fatherhood. The Bl. Virgin Mary = feminine virtue, gift of motherhood. Jesus Christ = perfect virtue, obedience to the Father’s will. Artwork: 𝘏𝘰𝘭𝘺 𝘍𝘢𝘮𝘪𝘭𝘺 by Claudio Coello @TheNewColumbiaMovement
