3 Cliffhangers from Antonio Motta

As you prepare for our next talk with Antonio next week, I wanted to share three key moments from our last conversation that truly resonated with me:

1. “When I go for a run I try to pray the rosary”

2. “We support a Parish here in New York as all the costs are going up on a constant basis”

3. “My wife, she brought me to the, brought me back to Catholic Church”

So brief, yet such powerful turning points in one’s life. I don’t want to say that these actions send a message—but they really do.

They reflect a deep realization of one’s priorities, a commitment to great things, and the mission of God in one’s life.

These words definitely struck me as we prepare for the interview next week. If someone were to ask me about Antonio, these are probably the three things I would highlight about him.

Life always comes full circle, and in the end, faith is all we need to endure not only the tests God puts in front of us but also the test of time itself.

I’m hopeful and excited for next week's talk, and I’m sure this has energized you as well! God bless!

You Have Only One Problem: Experience the Instant Reward of Trustful Surrender written by the CEO of TAN BOOKS—our new book sponsor!

As Conor writes in his book:

“Your one and only problem is this: that you have not completely surrendered yourself and every part of your life to divine providence.”

As a father of 16 children, he has truly witnessed the grace of God—an experience that no doubt led him to write this book. His core message is that when we trust in God fully, we can achieve great things.

During a recent conversation, Conor shared with me his biggest piece of life advice for young people, which perfectly aligns with the message of his book:

“When you get married, you're very focused on, like changing yourself, and when you say your prayers, you focus on your own spirituality, and that's fine, but you're missing something because you fail to actually put the hardcore time into praying for your spouse, and saying, Okay, I am and knowing at every stage of that relationship, I am missing something that my my spouse needs.

I'm missing an insight into something that you know it's important to her.

I'm missing something I can do for her.

I'm missing something and then saying, and I don't know what the hell that is, but knowing you're missing something and so prayerfully considering what that is, and I believe God reveals it to you when you need to know it, but he doesn't reveal it to you if you're not asking.

So you're not married, you need to start praying now for your future spouse, and not just trying to get married, but your spouse is out there running around, doing something.

She's working. She's doing something. She's in a bad relationship, a good relationship, she's figuring this stuff out.

So whoever that is, maybe you're already dating or, I don't know, but you need to start praying for your future spouse now, and when you get married, you have to pray for them even more. I think that's the best thing I can tell you.”

We’re very appreciative and happy to have such a great sponsor as TAN BOOKS who truly wants us to not only do better but put faith at the center of your life.
