Daily Devotions for Men

Some Catholic devotional books written specifically for men feature excerpts from Scripture, while others focus on quotes from the saints. But Fr Wade Menezes’ book is different: it includes daily reflections that comprise both Scripture and saint quotes along with a relevant meditation meant to jump-start and strengthen a man’s spiritual life. He joins us.

 

Fr. Wade L. J. Menezes, CPM is the author most recently of Stand Firm, Be Strong: A Men's Catholic Daily Devotional of Scripture and Saints and a member of the Fathers of Mercy, a missionary preaching Religious Congregation based in Auburn, Kentucky. Ordained a priest during the Great Jubilee Year 2000, he received his Bachelor of Arts Degree in Catholic Thought from the Oratory of St. Philip Neri in Toronto, Canada and his dual Master of Arts and Master of Divinity Degrees in Theology from Holy Apostles Seminary in Cromwell, Connecticut.
