The Church has entered a historic moment—and you, Catholic man, have a mission. In this episode of The Manly Catholic, we reflect on the election of Pope Leo XIV, the first American Pope in the history of the Church, and the profound implications this moment holds for Catholic men across the world. This isn’t just a historical event—it’s a spiritual challenge.

With clarity, conviction, and a deep love for the Bride of Christ, Pope Leo XIV comes out of the gates with power. Drawing from the charism of the Augustinians and inspired by Pope Leo XIII, our new Holy Father is already taking bold, countercultural stands. In just his first week, he infallibly declared that marriage is between one man and one woman and proclaimed the family as the nucleus of civilization. He is not holding back—and neither should we.

We are facing our own Industrial Revolution: Artificial Intelligence, the breakdown of the family, confusion about human identity and sexuality, and an increasing rejection of moral truth. But like Pope Leo XIII before him, Leo XIV is standing in the breach—and he’s calling us to do the same.

Key Takeaway: Live your faith publicly and boldly.

Do not hide behind silence or comfort. Proclaim Christ with your life, especially in your home. Begin by strengthening your marriage and leading your family in sacrificial love. That is where the Church is rebuilt.

Final Charge:
Pope Leo XIV isn’t waiting around—and neither can you. Catholic man, your home is your mission field. Your vocation is your battlefield. And your courage, forged in love, is the weapon that will rebuild the Church.

Most men wake up in chaos and go to bed in silence—but not in prayer.

In this final installment of our “Daily Grind” series, I give you the strategy every Catholic man needs to end his day with clarity, discipline, and purpose. If you’re not examining your day with God every night, then you are drifting—and drift is deadly in spiritual combat.

This episode is your call to war.
Not against the world—but against your own mediocrity.

We walk through the 3 essentials of a nighttime routine that isn’t about comfort—it’s about conversion:

• Review your day under the gaze of God.
• Repent of your failures with humility.
• Resolve to rise and fight again tomorrow.

This isn't fluff. This is about forming the habit of holiness through repetition. This is about reclaiming your night from the Enemy and entrusting it to Christ. This is about ending your day like a saint-in-training—not a slave to screens or laziness.

I issue a clear challenge: You have no excuse not to do this.
Stop wasting your nights. Stop lying to yourself that you're too tired. You are a man of God—act like it.

You want to be a priest of your home?
Then end your day as a priest, offering the sacrifice of your failures and victories to the Lord.

🔑 Key Takeaway:
Start an evening examen—tonight. No delay. 5 minutes. Reflect, repent, resolve. Make it a non-negotiable.

💬 3 Powerful Quotes:

1. “Your day doesn’t end with Netflix. Your day ends with the Cross.”
2. “If you’re too tired to pray, you’re too tired to lead.”
3. “When men stop examining their lives, the Devil fills the silence.”

📦 Resources Mentioned:

• The Examen Prayer (St. Ignatius of Loyola)
• The Liturgy of the Hours (Night Prayer)

👊 Final Challenge to Men:
Be intentional. End your day with God or end it with excuses. Every night is a battle. Finish strong. Review your day. Repent of your sins. Resolve to be better. That’s how Catholic men fight.

Catholic men — it’s time to wake up.

The battle is real, and it’s personal. Welcome to Part 3 of the Daily Grind with Go.d If you're not actively fighting for your soul, your wife’s, and your children’s, you're losing ground. This is not a game. Satan is not playing around, and the culture of comfort is numbing us into spiritual death.

This episode is a direct challenge to you. To stop sleepwalking through your vocation. To take spiritual warfare seriously. To stop blaming everyone else and start owning your mission as a man, husband, and father. I talk about the realities of hell, the lies of the world, and how most men are spiritually passive while pretending they’re doing enough. Spoiler: we're not.

I walk through my own moments of cowardice; not to beat myself up, but to show that if we don’t face the hard truth, we’ll never change. I also offer a clear battle plan: Confession, the Rosary, fasting, sacramentals, and brotherhood. You need a weapon in one hand and a rosary in the other.

Attend the Silent Retreat in Grand Rapids, MI!

🔥 3 Powerful Quotes from the Episode:

1. “You are either advancing the Kingdom of God — or retreating in cowardice.”
2. “We have too many baptized men who are spiritually castrated. They’ve handed over their authority without a fight.”
3. “You’re not ‘too busy’ for prayer. You’re choosing something else over God — and that’s idolatry.”

One Key Takeaway to Apply Immediately:
Stop making excuses and get to Confession this week. If you’ve been in mortal sin or living lukewarm, you are vulnerable to Satan’s grip. This is your first step in reclaiming your authority and becoming the spiritual warrior God created you to be.
