Aloha! This is Jay Goodman and welcome to Talking with a Good Man! A Podcast aimed at calling all Men to be a Good Man! My last name, Good Man, is a hard one to live up to. Daily, I work to kill Pride, be forgiving while striving for humility because, we’re all made for greatness and God calls us to be a Good Man. I want to ask you to join me in striving to be that Good Man, for yourself, your Family, your Church, and most importantly for God!!
Once you realize we’re all Good Men, deep down, past our struggles with Sin, past our failings, and seeing our successes in life, our magnanimity, you’ll begin to grow!!
And when we truly embrace being a Good Man, it gives us great power in Jesus. And like Spider-Man said, “with great power comes great responsibility”. So let us be great!!
Let us be noble!! Let us be constantly full of the Holy Spirit. In doing so, you will truly be a Good Man.
Today I am welcoming the first Good Woman onto my show. Remember, Beside every good Man is a good Woman and Jesus has thousands of good Women that work directly for him, Sisters or Nuns, that serve him directly, and only him, as we know, never being married, devoting their entire lives to the cause of Christianity, of our one, true Holy and Catholic Church. And this particular Sister has had a HUGE role in Men’s lives, through the Into the Breach video series put on by the Knights of Columbus last year. Into the Breach was originally a homily written by Bishop Olmsted, the Bishop of the Arizona archdiocese to spur Men on to step into the breach and be stronger Men for God, their Families, and their Church. It is based off of the verse from Ezekiel 22:30 which says “and I sought for a man among them who should build up the wall and stand in the breach before me for the land”.
And after the Knights of Columbus used this homily to create a study guide and 12 amazing videos, they took this and inside each of the 12 amazing videos produced by my fellow Knights of Columbus are many fellow Catholics who were asked to speak their wisdom here and there, really bringing us a great treasure in these videos. One of the people, Sister Maris Stella, was in the Into the Breach videos and mainly on the 6th video installment titled “Life” where she speaks of Men needing to be courageous and to, quite literally, stand in the Breach for Women against abortion. She talks about how they can do that and we will talk about that today too.
We will first though, talk about how she went from being a counter drug Naval operations Officer to being Sister Maris Stella and all about her journey to directly serving God with her life by becoming a Sister in our beautiful Catholic Church. Enjoy!
Well that’s it for the podcast today my friends!! I hope you are looking forward to the next podcast I will have, as I welcome onto my show Mark Hartfiel, the TMIY (that man is you) National Director. He’s an awesome Catholic Man and just an all-around great guy.
