(179) My Ad in the Program Booklet of the 2019 Diocesan Men's Day of Renewal


AMDG


RISE UP OH MEN OF GOD of the 2019 Men’s Conference; YOU CAN CHANGE THE WORLD!!!

You can do a little today, a little tomorrow, a little the next day
And the accumulation of many little things done over a lifetime
Can add to greatness and sanctity too with God’s help. 
Be a Christ bearer wherever you are; seek His will for your life; trust Him; He will be with you. 
May the world be just a little bit better because of you.
“It’s better to light one candle than to curse the darkness” (christophers.org).
“Don’t just keep the faith; SPREAD IT”.  Participate in the New Evangelization!
People in your own extended family have left the faith.  Do your part to bring 
them back.

RISE UP OH MEN OF GOD.  ARMED WITH THE POWER OF PRAYER, BE EFFECTIVE SPIRITUAL LEADERS FOR GOOD IN THE HOME as well as in the parish, on the job, and in the community.
 
Try our Men’s Conference Blog, “Becoming True Men of God” at diosteubmen.blogspot.com.  It has summaries of past Men’s Day of Renewal; resources for promoting it in your parish and K of C Council; plus articles on Men’s spirituality by past speakers and others.  The most recent ones are Blog #156 - a Summary of Mike Aquilina’s 2018 Conference talk on a Cloud of Witnesses and Your Part; #157 – A Prophetic Letter by Ralph Martin on Corruption in the Church; #158 – A Requiem For a Faithful Parish Priest: Msgr. William Myers, Pastor Emeritus of St. Louis Church Gallipolis; and #159 - Interview of Bishop Jeffrey Monforton (Diocese of Steubenville, Ohio) by The Catholic World Report.  The blog has links to other articles by our speakers in the past.  The most important of all is Blog #106 – “INTO THE BREACH: An Apostolic Exhortation to Catholic Men” by Thomas Olmsted, Bishop of Phoenix.  Clergy, Religious, and knowledgeable layman are invited to submit articles to me.
