P and I just finished an online retreat yesterday run by the Montfort Centre called Paternal Heart which we decided to attend this year being the Year of Saint Joseph as declared by Pope Francis. It was an affirming time with the Father, not just God the Father, but also Saint Joseph, and my earthly father. I would recommend this to anyone who is seeking to know more about the heart of the Father. It was truly a time of great blessing.
And today being Father’s Day, I dedicate one of my retreat reflections to my father who is now in heaven with our Father.
Who I am today, strong and fearless
In love with the Father, Son and Spirit.
Yearning always to do what is right and good
In your eyes as reflected in His eyes.
Thank you, Abba, for loving me
Through this gift of my father
His deep faith in you grew mine
A fruit of epic abundance.
We are blessed by your chesed*
Your breath of life that gave us both the space
To run free into your waiting arms.
* Hebrew for loving kindness between people and God and vice versa.
