Prayer Sacrifice Fraternity“For freedom Christ has set us free. Stand firm, therefore, and do not submit again to a yoke of slavery.” (Galatians 5:1)It is normal for us as men to be distracted, addicted, and enslaved by so many things today. Alcohol. Pornography. Social media. Sports. Gambling. Work. Comparison. Achievement. Wealth. Legacy. It is so normal, in fact, that society’s stereotypes of men are often associated with the very idols that plague us.What is uncommon in our time is men who are free. A free man is not a perfect man who has it all together, but one who remembers who he is: a son of God whom God has called forth for love. And he knows how much more he can become by the power of grace unfolding in his life over time, and with the support of brothers.Exodus 90 follows the three pillars of:
- Prayer - Through contemplative prayer, we open up to a vulnerable relationship with God.
- Asceticism - Through asceticism, we grow in the power to say “no” to the common things of the world that hold us back.
- Fraternity - Through fraternity, we have the essential support, encouragement, and mercy of other men striving after the same uncommon ideals.
The world defines freedom as the ability to do whatever you want, whenever you want, with whomever you want. True freedom is for commitment, sacrifice, and love. Like Jesus on the Cross, the free man takes up his life and then lays it down for others. What is returned to him is a life of integration, meaning, and eternal satisfaction.Begins January 20, 2025
