Are you living for a crown that fades… or one that lasts forever?

“Where your treasure is, there your heart will be also.” (Matthew 6:21)

In this powerful Lenten reflection, we examine what truly captures our attention — the Super Bowl, worldly success, comfort — or the incorruptible crown promised by Christ.

Drawing from the lives of St. Maximilian Kolbe and Elder Ephraim of Arizona, this homily challenges Catholic men to ask:

What is my treasure?

What kind of crown am I striving for?

Do I desire purity, martyrdom, apostolic zeal — or earthly recognition?

Am I running my race to win?

St. Paul tells us:

“They do it to obtain a corruptible crown; but we an incorruptible.” (1 Corinthians 9:25)

The saints rushed toward suffering with joy because they believed in the crown awaiting them. Do we?

As we enter the Great Fast, this is a call to discipline, focus, purity of mind, and heroic Catholic masculinity.

🔥 This is your vocation.
🔥 This is your race.
🔥 This is your crown.

Glory to Jesus Christ.
