Manly Catholic: Igniting Men to Light the World on Fire Fr. Dom's Homs - A Saint Is a Sinner Who Never Gives Up: How Catholic Men Can Train for Heaven
Every man wants to be great but few are willing to endure what it takes to become a saint. In this powerful All Saints Day reflection, Fr. Dom reminds us that sainthood isn’t for the perfect but for the men who refuse to quit the fight.
Drawing from the Gospel of Matthew and the Beatitudes, this episode calls every Catholic man to return to the fundamentals: obedience to the commandments, the sacraments, and daily perseverance in the spiritual battle. Fr. Dom challenges you to stop making excuses, pick up your spiritual weapons, and start running the race toward heaven just like the saints did.
He breaks down what it means to live the Beatitudes in real time, reminding us that the saints were ordinary men and women who chose extraordinary endurance. Just like a triathlete pushing through pain, the saint keeps moving forward even when everything in him screams to stop. The path to heaven is not for the faint-hearted. It’s for those who never give up.
In this episode, you’ll discover:
- Why All Saints Day is more than a commemoration—it’s a battle call for the living.
- How “a saint is a sinner that never gives up” should define your daily fight.
- Why obedience to the commandments is not optional for those who love Christ.
- How the sacraments—especially Confession and the Eucharist—are your training fuel for holiness.
- Why the saints in heaven are cheering you on like teammates in a race, calling out, “You can do this!”
Fr. Dom issues a direct challenge to every man: Honor the saints, study their lives, and imitate their endurance. Find a saint whose story matches your own struggles and ask for his intercession. Heaven is your real home—live like it.
He reminds us that to love Christ is to obey Him. As Scripture says, “If you love me, you will obey my commandments” (John 14:15). Those who claim to love God yet ignore His commands are, as St. John says, liars. This is the hard truth every man needs to face: holiness demands action, not lip service.
You were confirmed to be a soldier of Christ. The Holy Spirit has already equipped you with every weapon you need. It’s time to unlock that power and start living as a man who trains for eternity.
