The
following talk to the congregation after Sunday Mass may serve as a starting
point, guide, or example that the parish representative could use in his parish,
assuming that the pastor allows it. The
parish rep or other leader may use it as he sees fit according to his own
personal style, adapting it to the parish culture and situation. The personal testimony of a leader, who has
attended a Men’s Conference, can be most effective.
POSSIBLE
PROMOTIONAL TALK ON THE 2014 DIOCESAN MEN'S DAY OF RENEWAL
Men, let's face it. Too many of us are spiritual
weaklings.....spiritual wimps! And that
includes me. We have to do something
about it. Our Men's Conference would be
a big help to each one of us.
· We've got to get into spiritual shape and get
better connected with God, our families and others, the theme of this
year's Conference.
· We've got to become spiritually strong
to be effective spiritual leaders of our families, to become better fathers,
better husbands, and to be able to put Christ into our jobs and
professions. To establish the kingdom,
the Lord wants our help.
· We've got to prepare ourselves for Easter and for eternity.
· Our Men's Conference will help us in all of these
areas. On top of that we'll have a good
time of great fellowship both at the Conference and in the van going
there and back. Last year the men came
back spiritually reinvigorated, refreshed, and enthusiastic. A typical comment was: “I didn't want to go,
but they twisted my arm and I'm glad they did.”
· We'll learn more about our faith too and
grow in Christian maturity. We only have a superficial knowledge. Dr. Allen Hunt, our main speaker, is a
nationally known speaker and author. He
will describe his journey of discovery of the truth, the beauty, and the
splendor of the Church. As part of the
Dynamic Catholic movement, he will help us to become more dynamic Catholics and
effective spiritual leaders in our families, our parishes, our communities, and
on the job.
· Perhaps the women can help
by using their feminine mystique to encourage (not nag - tongue in cheek) their
men to attend. Please mark on your
calendar Saturday, March 7. We'll meet
in the parish parking lot at 7:30 am.
Please register with me as soon as you can. That really helps in organizing and
planning. Of course, better late than
never at the door. Thank you so much.
