Manly Catholic: Igniting Men to Light the World on Fire Day 39 - Good Friday: Jesus Thirsts for You—Will You Answer His Call?
Gentlemen, Good Friday is here. A day to pause and reflect on the sacrifice Jesus made for each of us. In this powerful episode of our Lenten Reflection Series with St. Joseph, I share a moving meditation from Mother Teresa titled I Thirst for You. It’s a raw reminder that Jesus doesn’t just love us collectively; He thirsts for you, personally, standing at the door of your heart, knocking. Will you let Him in? I dive into what this means for us as Catholic men: the call to reject sin, embrace His love, and live for heaven.
My challenge to you? Get to adoration or a Good Friday service today. Spend time with the Lord who gave everything for you. Are you thirsting for Him like He thirsts for you? This episode will stir your soul and push you to act. Hit play, reflect, and let’s prepare for Easter Sunday together.
Be a saint.
