Series on “The Father” by Fr. Mark-Mary Ames, CFR (Part 5)
What does it mean to be loved and celebrated? We are favored sons and daughters worthy of celebration—of being served. We are worthy and loved by God, and this episode discusses a step in the right direction regarding what it means to be loved and celebrated.
This is a gentle call to conversion and repentance, an invitation to be loved sacrificially and give God and others permission to love and celebrate us.

It anchors us in the reality that we are made for relationship, we’re made for prayer, and we are made to live in intimacy with God every single day of our lives.
