(203) My Ad in the 2020 Program Booklet


AMDG (Ad majorem Dei gloriam – for the greater glory of God)

RISE UP OH MEN OF GOD of the 2020 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” 
  (www.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.
