Easter, Men, Mortality: The Grace of Finishing Well

Blog

By Mark C. McCann To be a real man is to face one’s own mortality, to stare down our human frailty as we walk ever closer toward the dark valley of the shadow of death. How we prepare for our journey to the other side of the grave is an important part of what it means to be a man of faith. And how we deal with the death of another human being can witness to the world of whether or not we are who we say we are in Christ. During the seasons of Lent, Easter, and Pentecost, we have a blessed opportunity as Catholic men to meditate on the life, death, and resurrection of Jesus and share the story of his loving sacrifice with those who believe and…

How to Pray the Stations of the Cross

Blog

The stations of the cross are a powerful prayer experience. The best way to pray these is to do them at your church meditating on each of the stations.

How Shall We Answer? A Message for Men in Trying Times

Blog

By Mark C. McCann I have said this to you, that in me you may have peace. In the world you have tribulation; but be of good cheer, I have overcome the world.” (John 16:33, RSV2CE) Of late, my heart has been heavy with sorrow, confusion, and even a little hopelessness over the state of this world and the struggles facing the Church. It isn’t that I don’t understand the nature of Christianity and the suffering that comes to believers because of the evil present all around us. I know that Jesus said that the truth he would bring would be like a sword of division (Matthew 10:34). I know that the devil is alive and well in this broken world and continues to incite us to follow the worst…
