Husbands, love your wives, just as Christ loved the church and gave himself up for her..." Genesis 2:24: "That is why a man leaves his father and mother and is united to his wife, and they become one flesh." Matthew 19:6: "So they are no longer two, but one flesh. Therefore what God has joined together, let no one separate." 1 Corinthians 7:3-4: "The husband should fulfill his marital duty to his wife, and likewise the wife to her husband. The wife does not have authority over her own body but yields it to her husband. In the same way, the husband does not have authority over his own body but yields it to his wife." Philippians 2:3-4: "Do nothing out of selfish ambition or vain conceit. Rather, in humility value others above yourselves, not looking to your own interests but each of you to the interests of the others." Galatians 6:2: "Carry each other’s burdens, and in this way you will fulfill the law of Christ." Proverbs 15:1: "A gentle answer turns away wrath, but a harsh word stirs up anger." ✈️ Join us for one of our 2025 pilgrimages: March 10-15: Visit the Shrine of Our Lady of Guadalupe in Mexico with Father Zachary, a fantastic priest and friend.

  • Your Words Matter

    Your Words Matter
    May 28 2024
    In this episode, we also dive deep into the importance of our words. 💬 Our words have the power to build up or tear down, to nurture or destroy. We reflect on how critical it is to be mindful of how we speak to our loved ones. Whether it's encouraging our children, communicating with our spouses, or interacting with others, our words carry significant weight. John shares personal stories, including a heartfelt moment with his daughter, emphasizing the impact of choosing kindness and understanding over harshness and impatience. Bible verses for reflection 📚 Let no corrupting talk come out of your mouths, but only such as is good for building up, as fits the occasion, that it may give grace to those who hear. - Ephesians 4:29 There is one whose rash words are like sword thrusts, but the tongue of the wise brings healing. - Proverbs 12:18 Whoever guards his mouth preserves his life; he who opens wide his lips comes to ruin - Proverbs 13:3 If any one thinks he is religious, and does not bridle his tongue but deceives his heart, this man’s religion is vain. - James 1:26 Let the words of my mouth and the meditation of my heart be acceptable in thy sight, O Lord, my rock and my redeemer - Psalm 19:14 Gracious words are like a honeycomb, sweetness to the soul and health to the body - Proverbs 16:14 Quotes mentioned in this episode 💬 “Great are the faults committed by the tongue. The soul will not attain sanctity if it does not keep watch over its tongue” - St Faustina “I have made a pact with my tongue, not to speak when my heart is disturbed" - St Francis de Sales “I tell you, on the day of judgment people will give account for every careless word they speak. For by your words you will be justified, and by your words you will be condemned”- Matthew 12:36 ___________________________________________________________________________ We also have some big announcements! 🎤 We’ll be heading to the Diocese of Fargo for their annual men’s retreat at a hunting lodge – you can find more details on their website.
