Can't Sleep?

Whether it be Columbus’ voyage blessed by many miracles from God or St. Brendan setting forth in a leather boat to find the Isle of Saints.In the 1960s, America's Cold War with Russia and its communist satellites was afoot. We had been threatened with destruction during the Cuban Missile Crisis of 1962. Nuclear War was looming on the horizon and the Soviet Union had already launched a man into space successfully. It seemed that the Soviets would dominate the sky - a frightening thought for an American populace already troubled by nuclear annihilation. We needed to step up our game.All that being considered, space missions from that era had an undeniable anti-communist spark to them. Obviously there can be obsessions with outer space and being first at everything, but when Nuclear War is at hand, I wholeheartedly believe that victory in the space race was very important for the safety of free countries everywhere. Which leads me to the incredible story of Apollo 13, but the space race isn’t actually why I'm interested in this story. I'm interested, because it shows how real men handle problems. What brought it to mind was that one of my subscribers sent me this Lego spaceship and asked me to talk about the three men who escaped death through a series of spine chilling decisions on Apollo 13 — a mission that never reached the Moon… but showed the world what real problem solving looks like. It's a testament to cool thinking, ingenuity and even trust in God and I think it says something about America's calling as a nation, which is important to discern, because patriotism is a virtue.Check out the YouTube channel, if you want: https://www.youtube.com/@catholicmenspodcast

Watvh the performance: https://youtu.be/JKwdgecfeUM Special thanks to my talented cast of actors who performed this show live for an audience.  Led by Don Juan of Austria, with the blessing of Pope Pius V and the prayers of all Christendom, the Holy League sailed into history. Outnumbered and outgunned, their greatest weapon was not their cannons or swords, but the Rosary. As the Pope called all Catholics to prayer, men and women across Europe took up their beads, and the heavens answered. The winds shifted, the battle turned, and Our Lady granted victory to her faithful sons. If you’ve ever wondered why October 7th is the Feast of the Holy Rosary, or how the faith of ordinary men and women turned the tide of war, this is the story you’ve been waiting for.Check out the YouTube channel, if you want: https://www.youtube.com/@catholicmenspodcast

There has been no sound, no scent, no hint of movement. But he’s there. Close. It’s the same feeling you get when someone stares at the back of your head, the same sixth sense that makes your hackles rise to protect your jugular..."This story is taken from "Death in a Lonely Land: More Hunting, Fishing, and Shooting on Five Continents" by Peter Hathaway Capstick.Check out the YouTube channel, if you want: https://www.youtube.com/@catholicmenspodcast
