SUMMARY:Cor - Answering the Needs of Catholic Men through Prayer\, Formation\, and Fraternity
DESCRIPTION:“Cor is meant to transform us\, by drawing us closer to Christ and each other.” \nEvery man has a call to holiness and many also a fatherly vocation.  The mission of Cor (Latin for “heart”) is centering men’s hearts on Jesus so they can be transformed by an authentic relationship with him and each other. \nEverything flows from the heart.  If you get the heart right\, you get the man right – a man of faith who will courageously live out the mission God call him to. \nChrist is the heart of Cor.  We invite all men to join us in uniting out hearts with his. \nJoin Deacon Rip as he leads you in the three elements of Cor:  Prayer\, Formation and Fraternity. \nIn a world that often promotes isolation\, we can forget that God designed us for community.  We are not meant to walk this journey of faith alone. \nThe bond of Christ-centered brotherhood helps men remain focused on their mission to grow in holiness.  It fosters a sense of duty to one another – we are our brother’s keeper.  We desire the good of our brothers as much as our own\, striving to support one another in becoming the husbands\, fathers\, and saints that God calls us to be. \nAs the center of our bond\, Jesus is the unifying source of our strength\, purpose\, and direction.
