Men Role In The Catholic Church

In the Catholic religion each male relationship there is the potential for holiness. There are opportunities for the Catholic man to discover and do God’s will. As an adult son, he’s reached an age of maturity, wisdom that comes from living, and give thanks for his parents and repay them for their many gifts and sacrifices. As a son, accept and rise above their mistakes or shortcomings. As a husband, he’s co-celebrant in the sacrament of marriage. As a husband he makes everything to his wife “ours”, instead of this is “yours and this is “mine.” As a catholic husband he realizes his wife knows him better than anyone, being a partner in marriage makes it easier for him to imagine, to believe, in God’s great love for him. As a father, it teaches a Catholic man about sacrifice in a way that marriage alone can’t. As a father he shows love, admit to mistakes, ask for forgiveness, value honesty, work hard, and laugh easily. As a worker, a Catholic man needs to listen, to pray, t test the waters, to take “leaps of faith” to discover the unique role God has prepared for him. A Catholic man has a set of criteria to measure success that often differs from those around him.

    I feel these rules are common like other religion and how they view men. I feel these are fairer because it’s saying that as a man they should be in partnership with their wife, and also children. Also, to have a good relationship with God and pray. To accept their wrongs, forgive, and thank God for all he has done for him.
