In this brief (12:59) video, Dr. Ralph Martin, our 2023 Men's Conference speaker, comments on a short sermon of St. John Chrysostom, a doctor of the Church from the 4th century. The sermon could have been written today as it speaks to our modern circumstances as surely as it did to his first hearers.

The sacraments that Christ gave His church are powerful. They are life changing. But… they are not magic.

Jesus Christ’s life, death, and resurrection makes salvation possible for all of us. But there is one key ingredient that only you can supply. Fr. Mike encourages you to give that key ingredient to God today.

No record of anything St. Joseph said exists.
The Sacred Scripture mentions him sparingly.
Mysterious silence shrouds St. Joseph.
Yet that silence speaks profoundly of his greatness.
St. Joseph lived a spirituality that forged him into a saint.
And, Scripture outlines this spirituality and its four pillars…

You’re a miracle! Miracles happen all around us. We need only the eyes to recognize them. In this Sunday homily, Fr. Meyer discusses Our Lady appearing to St. Bernadette and the history of Lourdes.  He also talks about the healing of a fellow priest, Fr. John Hollowell. 

This Easter, Fr. Mike wants us to know how important we are to Jesus. When Jesus rose from the dead, the first people He encountered were Mary Magdalene and His disciples—the ones who believed in Him. This Easter, because we believe in Him, He comes to us first as well, and He tells us to go spread the Good News to the rest of the world.

Are angels real? Why did God make them? What do guardian angels do? Do I have one? Does it have a name? Can I name it? …All these questions and more answered in this brief (6:04) video by Fr. Mike Schmitz.

Why is the Liturgy of the Eucharist important? In this video (22:59), Fr. Jonathan Meyer explains the articles used during the Liturgy of the Eucharist and how they acknowledge the true presence of Jesus in the Blessed Sacrament.

Do you commit the same sins over and over again? Does it feel like a bad movie that you’re stuck watching, with the same sad script playing over and over again? Rewrite it. Rewrite the script.

In this brief (9:53) video, Fr. Mike Schmitz gives us some novel ideas for steering hard out of the “grooves” of sin we’ve worn deep into the bedrock of our daily lives.

When you're first growing in prayer and developing your relationship with Jesus, it is worth the effort to fight distractions in prayer. The more you can focus on our Lord, the more fruit you can see from prayer, and the deeper a bond you can experience with Jesus.

But, let's be real—distraction is inevitable. It's human. And our brains are hardwired, in some ways, to move on to "the next thing".

The Saints knew this, and there is an "advanced solution" to distraction in prayer—use it in prayer. Today, Fr. Mike tells us how.
