Happy Father’s Day!

 

Dear Mr. Timor You, Dear Mr. Timor You, Happy Father’s Day! I hope that this day may bring many graces on the fathers in your life. The question can be asked, “What is a father?” Or, more precisely, “What is a Catholic father?” I think that many men feel embattled as the war on masculinity has reached epic proportions. With the gender-bending, pronoun-swapping craziness going on, it’s a wonder any male dares call himself a real man these days. My dear friend, Adrien Fonseca, will share his thoughts on Fathers in this just released YouTube video. A Catholic father today MUST stand out. He cannot be mediocre and still be Catholic in the pagan days in which we live. Would you like to know what constitutes a “mediocre” man? Well, you could read The Republic by Plato.  But I suggest you click here and watch this short YouTube video instead. You will enjoy Adrien’s impassioned thoughts about fathers on this Father’s Day! And after watching the video, please share it with the father figures in your life. Timor, I was thinking the other day about how Christ was truly God and truly Man. Then it occurred to me, perhaps this is why Satan wants to erase the image of what it truly means to be a man by erasing from our minds and experience the masculine qualities of Christ. And by doing so, to emasculate the Catholic Faith in men and the strength that has always been required in its practice. Thank you, my friend, for letting me share my thoughts with you today. Now please click here and watch this YouTube video of one young Catholic man who is far from mediocre. I remain your friend, In Jesus and Mary, Robert E. Ritchie Director, America Needs Fatima www.americaneedsfatima.org PS: Here is a short prayer you can say today for fathers everywhere:  Heavenly Father, Thou entrusted Thy Son Jesus, the child of Mary, to the care of Saint Joseph, an earthly father. Bless all fathers as they care for their families. Give them strength and wisdom, tenderness and patience; support them in the work they have to do, protecting those who look to them, as we look to you for love and salvation, through Jesus Christ our rock and defender. Amen. I hope that this day may bring many graces on the fathers in your life.
