Manly Catholic: Igniting Men to Light the World on Fire

Fr. Dom's Homs - Rejoice or Regret: A Catholic Man’s Lent Challenge from the 4th Sunday of Lent

James Caldwell

Men, Lent’s halfway mark hits with Laetare Sunday, a rose-colored call to rejoice. In this homily, Fr. Dom unpacks its power to refuel your climb toward Easter. This is no fluffy talk; it’s a reality check for men to be more serious about God.  

Fr. Dom dives into the Prodigal Son, St. Paul’s push for reconciliation, and why humility and fear of the Lord unlock strength. He’s been the lost son—sin-bound until confession at 27 set him free. You can be, too. The challenge: hit confession this week. Don’t sulk like the older son—run home like the younger. Easter’s near, and reconciliation is your edge. Listen up and step up.  

References:  

  • Exodus 90  
  • Bible (Nehemiah, Corinthians, Luke)  
  • Sacrament of Reconciliation

Powerful Quotes:  

  1. “The old things passed away and the new things had come.”  
  2. “If you want strength, rejoice in the Lord.”  
  3. “The father embraced him… That is the sacrament of reconciliation.”

Key Takeaway:
Confess this week. Let God heal you and step into His house renewed.
