Exodus 90 | Catholic Prayer, Fasting, and Brotherhood

What is Exodus 90, and how can it help me out?

Exodus 90 helps men grow in personal freedom. Through ancient Catholic practices of prayer, asceticism, and fraternity, we grow in our identity as sons of God, we receive the love of the Father more fully, and we seek to respond generously to his call for our lives. Over the past ten years, 99% of men report experiencing greater freedom, and a positive impact upon their practice of the faith. Exodus 90 is designed for men looking to set aside the comforts and distractions of our time, and to grow in the freedom of the sons of God.

How do I get started?

It’s simple. Download the Exodus 90 app from the App Store or Google Play Store. Listen to today’s reflection. And invite a few friends to join you for the journey.

Is the app only for 90 days?

No, the Exodus 90 app offers daily formation for men. We follow the liturgical calendar of the Catholic Church, entering more fully into the ancient cycles of fasting and feasting offered to us by the Church. Immediately following Exodus 90, we begin Easter 50, which supports men in living in the joy of the Resurrection for the full 50 days of the Easter season. We support the personal formation of men every day of the year.

How does the fraternity work?

The fraternity is a sacred space for men. It’s a place to be honest about who you are, what you’re going through, and how you believe the Lord is working in your life. During Exodus 90, the fraternity meeting is one time per week and takes 30-60 minutes. We offer a weekly meeting guide on the app, which structures your weekly meeting with prayer, personal check-in’s, and announcements. In addition, each man is paired with an “anchor,” which is one man in the group he checks-in with briefly each day on the app. After Exodus 90, you decide with your fraternity how often you would like to meet to

What if I can’t find other men to join my fraternity?

Exodus 90 is best in-person in local fraternities of 4-6 men, either in your parish or local community.Pray about who you should invite, and don’t say “no” for anyone. You’ll be surprised by who says yes to your invitation! If you still can’t find anyone, you can search for local communities near you in the Community tab of the app. Or, you can search for remote fraternities forming on the app to join other men remotely.

Is Exodus 90 too intense?

Exodus 90 is challenging, but it’s not too intense.The experience opens us up to God, asking for the power of his grace, and also provides the support and encouragement of other men in our fraternities.The world, the flesh, and the devil are powerful foes. And freedom is hard. Exodus 90 provides a structure to help us to become the men we were created to be for our time.

What if I fail, or can’t do all the disciplines?

Don’t worry. There is no such thing as a perfect Exodus, and the path to the promised land is not a straight shot for anyone. The Israelites struggled in the desert, and so will we.If you have pre-existing health conditions, or your job or stage of life make any of the disciplines unrealistic, that’s okay. Set them aside, and share that with the men of your fraternity.

Do we relax disciplines on Sundays and Solemnities?

Yes! Every Sunday and Solemnity, which are little Easters on which we celebrate the Resurrection of our Lord Jesus Christ, we relax disciplines in celebration. We encourage each man to relax one discipline that will make these holy days true celebrations.
