Catholic Men’s Leadership Alliance president ties “new year, new you” to small daily vows, a late-night encounter in Austin, and a long road back to the Church
Powerful story on the empty-success moment. That Austin encounter captures the disconnect between external achievement and internal aimlessness in a way that cuts through. The deacon calling out bitterness before confirmation took real courage, since most people would just process paperwork. I've seen plenty of guys chase the uncle-dad patter without realizing it until something breaks, and the small-commitment framing around prayer makes more sense than big sweeping changes that disappear by February.
