Note to God

Jesus is the model of masculine spirituality. And the centre of the male spirituality is the cross.  Spiritual men must learn to take hold of the Cross in their lives—to open themselves to sacrifice of love, peace, and the real joy that flows from the Sacred Heart of Jesus. 

There is no doubt that by prayerfully reading the Bible, men can have a deeply meaningful and profound encounter with God the Father. Men can personally experience Christ, the Word who became flesh, through a fuller and deeper understanding of how to read the Bible as a Catholic man, come to acknowledge that this is important, and realize that he can use the Bible for moral and ethical guidance. Being open to the Holy Spirit, the Catholic man will take his Bible off the shelf and start reading it every day, begin to see himself and his life in the pages of Scripture, and then use this knowledge to grow spiritually as a man of God.

Mother Teresa did not want to avoid sacrifice or eliminate it from her life or the lives of her followers. “Grab the chance to offer something to Jesus,” she will tell her sisters
