I had an amazing childhood. But at age 10, I lost everything when my parents split. I spent the rest of my adolescent years helping my single mom raise my two siblings. In the process, I pretty much became a “loser”. Lacked social skills. Was kinda weird. But eventually, I had to take a good hard look at myself in the mirror and decide that I wasn’t going to be a victim of my circumstances. And with a lot of work and cringe-worthy phases, I became the man I am today, having lived in 3 different countries on my own, and now on a new venture running this platform to help others transform themselves beyond their circumstances. I used to think I was born unlucky. My ethnicity. Where I was born. I thought God played a joke on me when he created me. Nevertheless, the one constant throughout the many phases of life has been my faith, and it’s taught me that God never makes mistakes. We just need to listen when it’s time to fix ourselves. Speak with me on the following topics: -Pursuing a digital nomad lifestyle -Living a minimalist life -Alternative career pathways to college -Long-distance relationship consulting

A Sobering Reality
Glory to Jesus Christ! "What is the greatest wisdom that guards a man from all sin?" He says with a holy ferocity in his eyes. He is offering us a divine riddle. "Death! Death! Death! Death!" Booms the monk's voice, one hand banging the table in front of him with each iteration while his fingers silently trace over the knots of his prayer rope in the other. Not for a moment does a shadow of fear or worry pass over his face. What may appear to be a maniacal old man to worldly eyes stands before us a living and holy reminder to be prepared for death. Why? Because this is not our home. We are pilgrims passing through to a homeland that calls us to a different way of life. I look forward to any thoughts you may have on this monk's words of wisdom if you choose to listen to them.
Live Audio Chat Feature: Yay or nay

First time at mass
As a nondenominational protestant Christian I just attended a Sunday Catholic mass for the first time today (I have only been to a couple funeral masses before) and it was great. I really felt the spirit in the room, without needing the crazy lights, drums, and fog machines that nondenominational churches tend to have. I am looking forward to attending more and learning more👍
Lukewarm Christians
It was only about three years ago that I first heard the term ‘lukewarm Christian’. I actually found the phrase quite amusing at the time. But it’s anything but amusing. One of the most sobering passages in Scripture is Jesus’ warning to the church in Revelation. His words about lukewarm faith are a powerful reminder to examine where we stand and whether we’re truly living for Him.
Do you wear devotionals?
Many of us have a specific devotion that makes us want to wear it everyday. I've been wearing a three bar cross and a miraculous medal. The medal: I'm absolutely convinced that my conversion was a grace that reached me through a medal my mother gave me. The Cross: My daily reminder that we're all called to take our cross and die for our Lord, like he did for us. Also a reminder of his Mercy for when I feel I'm failing him. What's yours?

Pray the Rosary HOW MANY TIMES??
Glory to Jesus Christ! My brothers and sisters, two months ago, I came across a spiritual discipline that has produced radical change and abundant spiritual fruit in my life. The catch? The practice itself might seem radical. Gabriel Castillo is a renowned author, speaker, and general propagator of the Holy Rosary. He has traveled far and wide to encourage people everywhere to take up the practice of praying the Rosary as often as possible. However, what struck me was what he said in going beyond that: "Pray the Rosary *four times* a day." "Four times???" Without a doubt, it can seem taxing if not outright impossible at times. Yet, my brothers and sisters, as someone that has experienced the floodgates of graces by praying the full Holy Rosary, I urge you to listen, consider, and reflect on the testimony of Gabriel Castillo and many others who have made this discipline their own. I look forward to hearing your thoughts. :) Yours In Christ

Out of Curiosity 🙋♂️
If St. Francis were to ask you today, "How is God inviting you to begin again?" What would be your answer?
Making the Jesus Prayer a Routine
Glory to Jesus Christ! Sometimes prayer in public can be difficult for various reasons: • Fear of looking pharisaical • Fear of judgment • Fear of personal attack • Etc. So how can we live out Apostle Paul's calling to "pray without ceasing" (1 Thess 5:17) while making baby-steps towards getting over these mental obstacles? The Jesus Prayer offers a timeless and structured process of making Apostle Paul's exhortation a reality for our lives. "Lord Jesus Christ, Son of God, have mercy on me a sinner." Truly a prayer of the ancient Church, the Jesus Prayer is for everyone, everywhere, at every time. Consider grabbing yourself a cup of coffee, your nearest prayer rope, and listening to what Matt Fradd has to say about the power of this prayer of ancient Christianity. Yours In Christ
Augustine Institute - Short Theology Course
Hi all, In case anyone wants to dive deeper into theology at their own pace without committing to a long course, I’d highly recommend the Augustine Institute. I completed this short course back in March, and it gave me a much deeper understanding of so many topics. Here’s a glimpse of what the course covers. There are other topics as well. You can find more details on their website. Just sharing because I found the course incredibly helpful.
Happy 250th America!

6 months later... All glory to Jesus. 🙏
Today marks six months since I made a commitment to pray the Rosary every single day. By God's grace, I have kept that promise every single day without missing one. Consistency in prayer changes us little by little.
FOREX IN CATHOLIC TEACHING?
How far or how many we are allowed to do Forex? Is it a sin or not a sin?
Bishop Barron’s Homilies 🤌🏽
I don’t think my Sunday is complete without listening to Bishop Barron’s homily. Who’s your go-to for Sunday homilies or reflections?
Prayer Request for Venezuela 🇻🇪
Right now, many of our brothers in Venezuela are probably thinking Why did God abandoned us? I did everything right, why me? God ignored my prayers God doesn't love us Why didn't God spare my children? Please let's include them in our prayers and mass intentions, for the living carrying that Cross and the departed that need God's Mercy. Our Lady of Coromoto, pray for us.
