There are a lot of things a man can do on a daily basis that are manly… here are somethings I’ve done this week that were manly.
Loved my wife, loved my kids, played with my kids, read my daughter stories, prayed with my kids, prayed the Rosary daily, washed my vehicles, filled my wife’s gas tank for her, fixed my American flag, took out the trash, was a courteous driver, followed through on job requirements without being micro-managed, explained the faith to someone, spoke with my accountability partner, planned a talk called “Mastering Christian Discipleship”, grilled meat, went to daily Mass, went to Confession, prayed the Stations of the Cross twice, spoke to a fellow man about how to overcome the pitfalls of pornography and masturbation, worked hard at achieving my future goals, disciplined my child, told my wife how special she is to me… what did you do this week?
Man up!
I washed the dishes this morning.
Right on! Man up!
A real man is on his knees daily, praying.
A real man says, “I’m sorry…”
A real man swims against the tide of society (paraphrased, very loosely, from Bishop Sheen).
