Today is Fathers Day. Is
there any more difficult job than the one faced by fathers today? On this day
our society pays lip service to fathers but on every other day they are mocked
and vilified. Everywhere around us we see men abandoning, and abusing their
children, and even urging that their children be aborted. Let's pray today that
fathers will deny themselves, and take up their cross and do their work.
Here is a little prayer for
fathers;
Our
Father in Heaven, we thank you for all the fathers on earth who,
like
St. Joseph, accept the responsibility to care for and love their children.
May
you strengthen them with the kindness, patience and wisdom they need
to
encourage and guide their children.
May
they be supported by a steadfast wife, a caring family and good friends.
Most
of all, may they know that you and you alone are the source of all that is
good
and truly valuable in this world.
