Happy Father's Day


Happy Father's Day

“As the family goes, so goes the world.” – St. John Paul II


 


On June 20th we celebrate Father’s day which is a day of honoring fatherhood and paternal bonds, as well as the influence of fathers in society. When we think about Fathers the first thing that comes to our mind is strength, wisdom, its guiding hand, and its help.

Reflection: The Prodigal Son is a reading most people are very familiar with. For today’s reflection, think of Dad. Note in Luke’s Gospel, he says “While he was still a long way off, his father caught sight of him, and was filled with compassion.” Reflect on the thousands of times a father waits in vigil. Whether a son coming back from school, a daughter from her first dance, a child serving in the armed forces: the gift of our fathers always waiting and watching over us.
