A good father is an immeasurable gift and something our world is in need of today. Join us in praying for all fathers this Father's Day...
- For our biological fathers on earth--that God protects and blesses them with the strength necessary to live their vocation and role as a father well
- For our biological fathers who have passed from this life--that they are living in the presence of Jesus in heaven.
- For our priests, Bishop, and Pope--that Jesus blesses them with joy and courage to fully live out their vocation as spiritual fathers to their flock.
- For all those who play a fatherly role in our lives--that St. Joseph helps them to lead, instruct, and live as examples of holy men
Whether you have a beautiful or a broken relationship with your own biological father (or any father figures in your life), you can always turn to God our Father, and to St. Joseph, the head of the Holy Family for comfort and guidance throughout your life.
If you're a father in any capacity, ask St. Joseph to guide you in your role. He was the foster-father of Jesus Christ--he raised the Savior of the world! There's no better example of an earthly father than him!
The position of St. Joseph as husband and foster father gives witness to the dignity of fatherhood.
