We are DR&KIDS wish all men, all fathers and consecrated men (in any capacity – popes, priests, pastors, brothers, monks etc.) a happy Father’s Day. It is an honor and a blessing to be a father. Let’s not forget, we refer to God, as God, The Father, Abba Father and more
It is in this regard then, that, we take this moment to thank God for all men, all fathers and dads. Currently, being a father is reduced to meaning having children. I advocate that any man with a biological child or no child is a father so long as he has acted in that capacity for anyone. For example, St. Joseph, the foster father of Jesus is a perfect image of a father. During his time, they were many men, but God choose him only to be the foster father of His son Jesus.
It is our prayer and hope that all men given the same responsibility will follow in the footsteps of St. Joseph and do what is required and rise above their responsibility for those placed under their care. Likewise those men tasked as with mentoring others, will also remain the ideal image and mentors they need to be.
We cannot forget, the beautiful women that have been part and parcel in making some of us biological fathers. Thanks to them, and a bigger thanks to all men who have been the pillars of their families.
As a dad to three beautiful children, I thank God for their gorgeous mother and for them. My priorities as a father have changed drastically this year, after a life scare of our oldest daughter. Previously, I made excuses of having to work and missed some of their important events. Nowadays, I have realized money cannot buy life. Consequently, if my kids have an event, it is a priority, not work or anything else for that matter. May God bless us all.
Have a prioritized Father’s Day…
