Happy Father’s Day

“As a father has compassion on his children, so the Lord has compassion on those who fear Him.”
Psalms 103:13

On this day we celebrate the fathers, grandfathers, godfathers and spiritual fathers in our lives. We sisters pause to thank God for the gift of fatherhood. In the gift you give of yourself as you guide and protect those entrusted to your care, you reflect God’s heart in our world today. We thank you for your daily sacrifices, your example of faith, and all the ways you mirror God’s love.

Today, and always, we hold you in prayer. We invite you to view a special video message for you from our Superior General, Mother Gloria Therese, just for you today.

Our Heavenly Father
Through the Eyes of Our Sisters

The Holy Spirit is faithful. It is amazing to see what insights He prompts and how unique and multifaceted every insight can be, with always still more to be discovered. We hope these insights from our sisters bless you and broaden your own love, knowledge and understanding of our Heavenly Father.

 

These reflections on fatherhood or on the Sacred Heart (as we are in the month of His Sacred Heart) are from our book, In His Heart. We wanted to share some reflections that would lead all, especially our earthly fathers, deeper into the heart of our Heavenly Father. We hope these bless you!
