    I'll be doing E90 for the 5th time. I'm a different human being. I have dug out of the human wasteland. If you're struggling with life, then do it. It eventually strips you from your slavish desires and eventually move you to a place where you can love better. Every married man in my church group of 40 experienced a happier marriage. And your prayer goes deep because you don't have a choice! Go for it!!!

    I wish there was more of this kind of thing for women. Women's programs are often so full of absolutely cheesy flowers and Instagram-worthy pictures of coffee cups. They usually feel very superficial. I'm 34 years old and don't need another modesty talk like I am 14 years old. I am plenty old enough to dress myself appropriately. I don't need more talks on homeschooling or how to make my home reflect the liturgical season. I want a program designed for women that is geared toward building a sisterhood of STRONGER women because we also face a lot of obstacles far more serious than liturgical home decor. I want to hear more on how to "crush the serpent's head," like Mary, in my own life. I want to see a program for women to study other women that have had to stand strong in difficult circumstances, and how to build up my own strength. Maybe a focus on female martyrs? A women's version should be different. For instance, women cannot do the same fasting commitments while pregnant or breastfeeding. But men get all the interesting programs!

      I agree that most content for women is lame and not anything that I haven’t already learnt. I also wanted something deeper. I have started a Postulancy class to be a Lay Dominican and it’s great, it has the meat and spiritual content I need plus a big emphasis on friendship and hospitality within the community of Dominicans, whatever our vocation. You may want to see if you have Dominicans local to you.

      Saint Therese The little way or St. Teresa de Jesus Interior Castles. Fasting can be done in many different ways it is not just fasting from food. I don’t believe this E90 lent is just for men because I will be doing it also. St. Clair of Asis was a follower of St. Francis. There many women saints and Martyrs that you could follow there foot in their steps.

    I have only just found this TH-cam channel iadmit that I'm not a religious person I don't wear my religion on my sleeve I don't force religion on other people. 2 subjects I never talk about with other people that's religion and politics I feel those 2 subjects is what divides us as people.
    I was raised in Scotland a Catholic I went to Catholic primary school in Edinburgh, Scotland and went to church with my mum. I'll be honest growing up I didn't really feel God's presence in my life. In my family we were all Catholic my great uncle was a Monsignor in the church.
    As I grew older I don't really know why I stopped going to church it might have been because of the job I had at the time working weekends so I didn't really have time to go to church. I think I also had a crisis of faith I began to doubt that there was a God. I remember one time I had a weekend off I decided to go to church during the service the priest announced that they were having a mass confession for everyone present. It had a been while since I had been to church and debated whether or not I should go to confession. I decided to go to confession we only had a few minutes so I confessed my crisis of faith the priest asked me why I had gone to mass that Sunday. I thought for a minute then looked at the stained glass windows and crucifix above the alter and something felt alive in me and made me realise that God is real. He then gave me absolution the words the priest said felt so powerful I felt so moved I had tears rolling down my cheeks felt the love of God from those words. What the priest said at the end mass also moved me he thanked us all for going to confession he said he knew how hard it can be to go to confession. I glanced over and saw another person who was moved to tears as I was I sat there and felt the presence of God and I vowed I would never doubt again.
    I would like to thank you Father Mike I've only just found your TH-cam videos whenever I watch I feel closer to our Lord. I love your enthusiasm and your words and your stories thank you.

    I did exodus 90 in 2020, and I’ve maintained many of the things we gave up still 2 years later. Fast/no meat on Wed/Fri, prayer life every day, gave up tv (cancelled it. We were told ‘in 90 days, you’ll turn on the news and it’s the same crud as it was 90 days ago’. 100% correct. I realized I put too much emphasis on watching trash that had no positive effect in my life, so away it went. The long term positives you can get out of exodus outweigh the “difficulty” while doing it.

    Hey people I do not recommend starting exodus 90 before Christmas because it then goes over the period of Christmas which is actually supposed to be a time of celebration. Start it after Christmas, especially when it ends on easter. You will have fewer temptations to break exodus because it is more of a time in the church for fasting. You should not be fasting on Christmas day. Celebrating Christ birth trumps fasting.

    Interesting as anything hostage negotiator training commonly begins with crisis intervention training/suicide prevention training. Not at all that strange come to think of it, being I've seen suicide be both influenced by or towards by violence.( They interact) The homicidal would persuade towards the suicidal, and by nature is suicidal) Like homicidal Catholic Church leaders. They'd like nothing more than for Transgender youths to commit suicide and they actively do even absolutely everything they possibly even can to influence culture in directions deliberately at to cause such effects, but yet at the same time lie and say such influences are loving holding also themselves hostage/as psychological captives to the designs of their own deliberate ignorance and deliberately destructive lies. Such as the high sex crime rates in their church resulting the framework of the exploitation and violation and violence/ even if unspoken of and hidden wrath and control based prone nature, of its misogyny. Its really hard to persuade shame and guilt prone Catholics who are so endlessly truly guilty guilty guilty of endlessly harming other people to abandon the criminal nature of their catholicism. I mean, firstly, its even so incredibly, self destructive and having been so beguiled at to be foolish enough to be ensnared in such a fool's mental imprisonment the rightly felt shame and guilt for such things breeds a defiant nature to would escape their victimization of both theirselves and others. Especially involving all that shaming of private and gender and sexuality related matters likely burying them in their own shames and guilt and likely to they think are their own an endless horrific offenses. The likes of which theyd likely immediately and ultimately deny, but that they know they are a party to a just the same. Wouldn't they just feel better if they just confessed their crimes to the police and have rest at because to confess at church just doesn't really quite do it? Wouldn't confession to the police just feel better who already know about their crimes so they might as well fess up and save themselves and their church some embarrassment? It's it hard to carry around such a black conscience of guilt and squandered value of for love and lives, isn't it? Wouldn't it just feel better to tell someone all the f'd up stuff been going on in the Roman Catholic Church. People in the rest of the world who will really can do something about it. Not Catholic Church leaders and advisors who never will. Tell the police about your f'd up priests, please, and all the criminals of the Roman Catholic religious industrial complex and their crimes and criminal conspiring and felonies and high treasons against God and country CONFESS! CONFESS! CONFESS OPENLY THE CRIMES OF ROMAN CATHOLICISM! TELL ABSOLUTELY EVERYONE! DO IT FOR THE JESUS GUY! YOU'VE GOT TO DO IT FOR GOD AND THE JESUS GUY. YOU KNOW THEY'VE BEEN WATCHING WHAT'S GOING ON! YOU KNOW YOU CAN'T LIE TO THEM! YOU KNOW, ITS, THEM, WHO WILL BE THE ONES TO JUDGE, YOU. NOT THE ROMAN CATHOLIC CHURCH CRIMINALS YOU WERE PROTECTING! YOU WON'T ESCAPE THE JUDGEMENT OF GOD! CONFESS! CONFESS! CONFESS ROMAN CATHOLIC CRIMES, TO THE POLICE, NOT THE PRIESTS!(THEY JUST GETTING THEIR JOLLIES OFF OTHERWISE A COMPLETELY BORING lifeless sexless EXISTENCE FROM THAT, and you know it's true. THAT PERV BELONGS IN JAIL!.) If you need witness protection, ask for it when you report your Catholic priest/leaders/advisors to the police. Public officials are there to protect you from criminal like Romans Catholic Church leaders and advisors who did bad things to you, and they always do bad things to you, don't they? They've been doing bad things to you even all along, haven't they? They just keep doing more and more bad things to you, don't they? They'll never stop doing bad things to people until someone stops them. DO IT FOR GOD! DO IT FOR, THE JESUS GUY! THE ONES YOU ARE, REALLY, ACCOUNTABLE BEFORE. You're not just going to let them keep hurting people and hurting people and hurting people are you? Can you really live with that?

    I felt God leading me to start a men’s group in 2020 during the pandemic. I started it in April with 6 guys and we’ve been meeting weekly for 2 years. We don’t do Exodus 90 but the brotherhood is invaluable and it’s an honor to see how everyone has grown both together and in their own lives.
    For anyone wanting to start something like this. A few words of advice. Don’t despise the small beginning. Just starting and meeting regularly is the best way to begin. You’ll figure out what to do from there. Just get started. Don’t worry if you only have 3 people. God will lead the men to you. That’s what happened to us. I’ll find myself somewhere and randomly talking to a guy and he just brings up his life’s problems and I invite him to our group. Let God lead your group. God just wants you to take the the step of starting. 😊

    Without Jesus we would never know the fulness of God. Jesus is the key to the universe for “all things have been created through him” So I’m waiting on Jesus. He gives me strength. As a single mother things aren’t isn’t easy on me. I’m overwhelmed at times because both of my children are autistic. I’m desperately struggling trying to support them and myself because like so many others. I lost my job as a social worker at Forsyth hospital because I declined the vaccine. I declined because of my pre existing health condition lupus and heart disease. I was denied my medical/religious exemption. I wish I could go back to the hospital but the mandate is still in place for hospitals that participate in Medicare and Medicaid. I’m waitressing and I’m so thankful to be working again, but I’m not making nearly enough to make ends meet. But God continues to help me. I get harassed and called names for simply asking for prayers, but prayers are all we need to get by, and when you’re a real christian people will always crucify you. Thankfully, God gives me strength to keep going. I have faith God will provide. He HAS THIS FAR. Please pray for me and my children.

    Exodus 90 has been so good for me. It has been a wonderful journey that refurbished my JOY. God is good all the time.
    I started my journey a couple of years ago now and it has been great.

    I listened to this having no idea what exodus 90 was and as father Mike was talking about self discipline I decided to make my shower cold and pray and then father Mike mentioned taking cold showers as part of the things you do and I might just be crazy but I call that a sign.

      I am not into Facebook anymore. I only scroll a bit, but shortly I will stop and it takes little effort. But as soon I open my TH-cam, I just do not know when to stop. I am aware that I should stop it, but my finger just won't stop scrolling. Even though I mostly watch religious videos, it becomes too much that I think it's not healthy! Let's pray for it.

    @ameliaolson7580 ปีที่แล้ว +4

    Asceticism has been practiced for thousands of years by numerous cultures and yet here we are...with a man crisis, smh.
    So, although the idea of the 90 thing is beautiful and is based in an idea of ultimate goodness and even though it may produce a body of better health which improves outlook, it really isn't as effective as doing something that can be considered the opposite of asceticism.
    What do I mean? Well, I mean, I would effectively help many clients back in the day by guiding them to stop focusing on giving things up and to start focusing on grabbing hold of the new (no addiction is left without being replaced by something, no vice is removed without a virue replacing it).
    What is it that someone is struggling with? Lonelines? Get a new community, get involved in a group based hobby. Get involved in a food bank and serve other lonely ppl.
    Is it an addiction or an obsession? Place something more important than the addiction in front of you and take full responsibility for it. If you are high this thing of responsibility could be lost. You have to be sober to take care of...[dogs at a shelter, a person that means a lot to you, a social staple you find super valuable and important.
    Is it a deep sense of sorrow? Fill it with joy. As you walk along throughout the day let nothing you see go passed without noticing something about it that brings joy to the world. "Oh, look! There's a rock, the blue in it brings reflection from the sky". "Oh look, there's a giant Tucson roach, that one lady really loves painting them- they bring her so much really gross happiness".
    I'm just saying, this path leads one to a naturally produced asceticism.
    You can't honestly appreciate someone for their inherent value and still devalue them by objectifying them at the same time. You can't cherish the company of another and at the same time dislike their presence.
    When you replace devaluing with active valuing you are a happier person because you find an inherent appreciation for all the different nouns in existence.
    Actively look for something beautiful in someone that dislikes you, actively look for the value of something you find repugnant, actively look for the greater purpose for things that seem to have no immediate value. Actively look for ways to be a force of good in the world. Actively ask God, "How can I be a force of good for You in this situation"?
    Satan takes us through ascetic trials, we don't have to self inflict with them, we have to learn how to navigate through them with God's guidance.
    Yep (**clap...clappity-clap, clap**).

      @@neyetm5550 It focuses on the self and it also focuses on self-discipline both of which men tend to like to focus on due to the social constructs that shape men's perceptions (i.e. being independent and being self-reliant which are indicative of success, wealth, and health- all attributes heavily pushed on men to exude). This program therefore (because it caters specifically to this proclivity) is a temporary fix that boosts the ego through feelings of accomplishment and comradery by way of results seen and temporary relationships built.
      Thus, it is a short lived victory that must be completed over and over again to fool the participant into thinking that they are accomplishing greatness rather than stuck in a hamster wheel made of matter and material. The very stuff (matter and material) that put them into the spiraling depression/grizzled state in the first place).
      So, in order to, long-term, achieve a sustained sense of well-being and actually meet spritual development on the path, one has to seek know what they are "missing" and/or what is causing them internal angst then coming to service to cause.
      For example, the saying, "the best way to help yourself is to help another" is true in this context. If you are a drug addict the best job you could ask for is helping other drug addicts to become sober, if you yourself want to become sober. If you are lonely, the best job you could ask for is taking care of the elderly in a nursing home or abandoned babies in a residential facility.
      It's coming out of yourself and your ego-centeic concerns to meet the needs of others in the same position that you are in that brings the most spiritual growth and internal sense of peace.
      He wants to help men come out of being in this wretched state, piting themselves in competition, yeah, works, but only temporarily. Piting them against their internal deficits is what's actually life changing.
      But, too, despair requires a new perspective first and a new way to look at the world (CBT, Cog. Behav. Thrpy); it requires you retrain/rewire your brain to seek out, and find, and see the good, worthwhile, and the beautiful.
      Thank you for your comment and giving me the clue to explain it a bit better.

    of which I am a minister in accordance with God’s stewardship given to me to bring to completion for you the word of God,
    the mystery hidden from ages and from generations past. But now it has been manifested to his holy ones,
    to whom God chose to make known the riches of the glory of this mystery among the Gentiles; it is Christ in you, the hope for glory.
    It is he whom we proclaim, admonishing everyone and teaching everyone with all wisdom, that we may present everyone perfect in Christ.
