This morning at the parish I attend when visiting family in New Jersey, we celebrated the external solemnity of the Sacred Heart.
In the Epistle from Ephesians we heard the following:
“For this cause I bow my knees to the Father of Our Lord Jesus Christ, of Whom all paternity in heaven and earth is named, that He would grant you according the riches of His glory, to be strengthened by His Spirit with might unto the inward man, that Christ may dwell by faith in your hearts: that, being rooted and grounded in charity, you may be able to comprehend with all the saints, what is the breadth and length, and height and depth: to know also the charity of Christ which surpasseth all knowledge , that you may be filled unto all the fullness of God.”
I thank God for sharing His paternity with me! Being a father has truly been the greatest joy of my life. I pray that I may also strengthen my family unto God.
