In this new year of St. Joseph, here's an inspiring short film on fatherhood

We all know the power of fatherhood when we see or experience it. Fathers are necessary, and when they are missing from our lives we pay a heavy price, both personally and societally. Father, a one-minute award-winning animated Iranian short film directed and written by Mohammad Reza Kheradmandan, r...

This is the bread of butter of a Legionary of Valor...seeking holiness via spiritual combat with the flesh, the world and the Devil. Godspeed Brothers.

Reflecting on Sunday’s Gospel, the pope said that “living a Christian life is not made up of dreams or beautiful aspirations, but of concrete commitments, in order to open ourselves ever more to God's will and to love for our brothers and sisters.”

With Christ as our brother, giving us his grace to grow in virtue and be on mission for the Father in the power of the Holy Spirit, of whom should we be afraid?!

This will be 33 of your minutes well spent when you get a chance to listen to Chris Stefanick. (BTW, if you haven't experienced RISE yet, let's do so together ASAP!):

Dr. John Cuddeback is a new hero of mine. Read this post and see what you think too...

“The courage of men is to command, so that no fear cause them to fail to order what should be done…” Thomas Aquinas, Commentary on Aristotle’s Politics To order what should be done. This is a rich and challenging notion. Aristotle and Aquinas are talking specifically about men—male human p...

Our first Overnight at the Villa was on the theme of spiritual warfare. There is a maxim in the spiritual life, "grace presupposes and perfects nature". Why not read about combat on the natural level and discover some new insights about the armed conflict that is raging over the battleground of your immortal soul since your baptism? Once you do, share it with us so we all get stronger!

War is a great metaphor for life. Read about war not just for the history lesson, but for the life lessons to be had as well.

Jason Craig should be an honorary member of the Legion of Valor. Another spot on article by him. If this isn't encouragement to snag one of the last remaining Sep 26-27 Overnight spots, I don't know what will be?!

"Be together in Christian love and study the truth that will help you to live in a freedom that no authority on earth can take away. Invite people in. Seriously, there are other things to be done, but few as potent as leading in our homes and communities."

The opening chapter of The Grapes of Wrath, by John Steinbeck, begins during the dustbowl when dry weather, over-tilling, and high winds stirred dirt into the air so much that “[the] dawn came, but not the day,” the sun being unable to pe*****te to the crops and people below. When it settled, th...

St. John Vianney shepherded his parishioners back to Mass and Confession after the French Revolution had made them lax in doing so on their own.
May we be inspired to do the same in our own way as laymen in an age of growing confusion.

Nothing can replace being physically present at Mass where we can make this offering and receive the offering of Christ in the Eucharist.

This is a good example of why men of the Legion learn to join their voice to the song of the Church with the Salve Regina. Authentic culture is a mixture of 3/4 being caught, 1/4 being taught. It's not a problem to be unfamiliar with it yet, come encounter it in the voices of your brothers on Sep 26-27 at the Overnight at the Villa!
