Today, let us remember all of our fathers, both living and deceased, as well as all thoe men who are father figures in our lives. Catholic priests are also called father, for their spiritual fatherhood in bringing manhy children into the church through baptism, and feeding them through the Eucharist, and healing them through confession and anointing of the sick.
Father's Day is also a good reminder for us to pray for the children who have absentee fathers, or are children of divorced parents. Our children, both boys and girls, need their fathers, but they especially need their fathers to show love to their mothers. The greatest threat to society and family today is the increase broken families and children being shuffled back and forth between homes to visit their parents.
It is never too late to start being a father. It is never too late to reconcile with the mother of your children if you are having marital problems. All things are possible with God.
