REFLECTION : 

The image of a boat in a stormy sea is a symbol of life in difficult times and can represent inner turmoil, anxiety and high emotion.

When you have been in such circumstances, perhaps a ‘Jesus person’ came to your assistance and calmed you down?  

Recall that person with gratitude.

 

HAPPY FATHER’S DAY

Father’s Day Prayer

Lord, thank you for all fathers.

For the new ones, who endure sleepless nights with infants in arms.

For the busy ones, who juggle the pressures of home and family life.

For the steadfast ones, who nurture and care for our special vulnerable children.

For the patient ones, who always seek to forgive and engage with their pre-teens.

For the persistent ones, who cleverly find new ways to connect with their mini-adults.

For the father uncles, who step in to cradle and care for nieces and nephews. For all granddads, who love and support their precious grandchildren.

For the foster dads that are called to gather and cover the fragile ones.

For the Sunday dads who care for our children and lead them in faith.

For the dads who give far beyond their own resources, who overcome disability to cherish and love.
