Croatian Men’s EXODUS 90 – 05 Jan 2026 – JOIN US!!

Embarking on a 90-Day Spiritual Journey: Join Us!!

In the words of Pope Benedict XVI, “The world offers you comfort, but you were not made for comfort. You were made for greatness!”

The Exodus 90 Challenge begins in five days. It will offer us the perfect way to begin this New Year, 2026 years since the birth of our savior, Jesus Christ. Rather than making a resolution that is often hard to keep, we are setting out on a great spiritual adventure with our brothers, seeking a greater experience of the Lord’s grace and the freedom that flows from it.

We seek nothing less than embracing the full stature of manhood that God intends for us in Jesus Christ, becoming men whose lives are joined to his mission of saving others from the bonds of sin and death.

May his holy will be done in our lives so that this year may serve as a turning point in following him more faithfully and breaking through the barriers that have been holding us back. Join us!! click link for a free 14 day trial.

What is Exodus 90?

Exodus 90 beckons you on a 90-day pilgrimage through the Book of Exodus, unravelling the parallels between our lives and the ancient Israelites’ journey and guiding us toward freedom from our contemporary ‘modern Pharaohs.’ Rooted in the wisdom of the early Church’s desert fathers, this spiritual exercise revolves around three pillars: prayer, asceticism, and fraternity.

The Commitment:
With your fraternity, you will embark on a transformative commitment:

Daily Silent Prayer: Dedicate one Holy Hour to silent prayer, Scripture reading, and reflections using the Exodus app.
Fasting and Abstinence: Wednesdays and Fridays mark days of fasting and abstaining from meat.
Cold Showers: Challenge yourself with invigorating cold showers.
Media Detox: Bid farewell to TV, movies, and televised sports for 90 days.
Weekly Fraternity Meetings: Connect with your fraternity of men to share experiences, challenges, and victories.
Daily Accountability: Check in with your Anchor, a chosen brother, on a daily basis.

Overcoming Challenges:
Undoubtedly, this journey may seem challenging, but remember, the path to becoming a man who conquers difficulty lies in embracing challenges. The beauty of Exodus 90 lies in the fact that you won’t tread this path alone. Shoulder to shoulder with a band of brothers, you’ll navigate the challenges, encouraging and supporting each other along the way.

and start Your Journey:

As you consider your New Year’s resolutions, ponder not only physical goals but also resolutions for the soul. Exodus 90 provides a structured framework to fortify your spiritual life, cultivating virtues and deepening your relationship with God and your Croatian brotherhood. Will you accept the call to greatness? Join us, and together, let’s forge a path to freedom so we can live our lives as authentically free men, in the way God created us.

God bless you and the work you do. Thanks be to God for people like you in this world. I have enjoyed this weekend.

 

Really enjoyed my first conference. The pace was outlined really well. The sessions were valuable and provided insight to areas that helped close out open end questions and have key take aways from the event.

 

Thanks for a great weekend mate. I really enjoyed it. A great bunch of blokes all fighting their own battles in life but with the same eye on the one prize. God bless

 

Helpful & beneficial, I firmly believe that all Croatian men, young and old should attend. My experience while I know people I was somewhat shy. Yet my small group leader helped me open up and I loved it, great people & I’ve benefitted. God Bless.

 

Learnt a lot from different speakers & my group about how to be a father to my kids & husband to my wife & to be spiritual leader in household.

 

It was uplifting, I needed this.

 

Really encouraging to see God move so much!!

 

Great spiritual weekend and great bonding with the Knights of the Precious Blood.

 

I have finally seen the light after searching for more than 30 years, I thank you and our God and Saviour above for letting me in.

 

Really enjoyed this weekend good bunch of blokes. Well thought off well done boys!

 

This was my first time, really felt closer to God and there was quite a few light bulb moments.

Feast of the Most Precious Blood of Our Lord Jesus Christ

“Knowing that you were not redeemed with corruptible things as gold or silver, from your vain conversation of the tradition of your fathers: But with the precious blood of Christ, as of a lamb unspotted and undefiled.” (Pet. 1:18-19)

 

The Precious Blood of Our Lord is the charism of the Knights. According to the Traditional Catholic Calendar, July 1st is the Feast of the Most Precious Blood of Our Lord Jesus Christ. This is an important feast day for us Knight’s, and it is most fitting that we attend Mass on this special day.

Meditation on Our Lord’s Precious Blood
by Fr. Johann Zollner (1883)

On this day, the Church celebrates the feast of the Most Precious Blood of Jesus Christ. That most sacred Blood is the price of our Redemption, and is poured out daily in the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass, whence It flows into the channels of the seven Sacraments, as an atonement for our sins and for our sanctification. For, as in Egypt, when God was propitiated by the blood of the paschal lamb (the type and figure of the true Lamb of God), so He is propitiated by the Blood of His Son, the true Paschal Lamb, which speaketh better than Abel’s. Herein is the strongest evidence of the infinite love of Jesus Christ, Who not only once, but seven times, shed His precious Blood amidst the most cruel sufferings for our salvation.

1. The first shedding of blood was at His Circumcision
2. The shedding of blood in the garden of Olives
3. Jesus is scourged. The four Evangelists narrate that Jesus was scourged
4. Jesus shed His blood the fourth time, when he was crowned with thorns
5. Jesus shed his blood the fifth time, carrying the cross
6. Jesus shed his blood the sixth time, when He was crucified
7. The seventh and last time Jesus shed His blood was when His side was opened

Thus Jesus shed His precious Blood seven times, and the price of these seven sheddings of blood is found in the seven Sacraments, by which we are cleansed from sin and sanctified. The covenant between God and the Israelites was sealed with blood. The new covenant was sealed with the precious Blood of Jesus Christ. The covenant between God and men is sealed again as many times as the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass is offered to God. Assist, whenever you can, at the tremendous Sacrifice of the Mass, and frequently receive Holy Communion.

Historical Development

The celebration of the Most Precious Blood of Jesus has a rich history within the Catholic tradition; the feast was instituted for the Universal Church in 1849. When Pope Pius IX went into exile at Gaeta (1849) he had as his companion the saintly Don Giovanni Merlini, third superior general of the Fathers of the Most Precious Blood. Arrived at Gaeta, Merlini suggested that His Holiness make a vow to extend the feast of the Precious Blood to the entire Church if he would again obtain possession of the papal dominions. The pope took the matter under consideration, but a few days later sent his domestic prelate Jos. Stella to Merlini with the message: “The pope does not deem it expedient to bind himself by a vow; instead His Holiness is pleased to extend the feast immediately to all Christendom”. This was 30 June, 1849, the day the French conquered Rome and the republicans capitulated. The thirtieth of June had been a Saturday before the first Sunday of July, wherefore the pope decreed (10 August, 1849) that henceforth every first Sunday of July should be dedicated to the Most Precious Blood. Later, Pope St. Pius X assigned July 1 as the fixed date for this celebration. source
