Pope Francis urges all dads in the world to stick by their children’s side, teaching them, guiding them and loving them. “I ask that you have the grace to be very close to your children, letting them grow, but being by their side. They need you, your presence, to be there, your love!” the Pope told fathers present in St. Peter’s Square.
Pope Francis led the crowd in praying the Our Father, urging them to remember God the Father in heaven, but also their own fathers and every father, whether alive or deceased.
Happy Father’s Day to all Fathers in our parish community, and to all those who play a Fatherly role to others.
