Series on “The Father” by Fr. Mark-Mary Ames, CFR (Part 10)
Can you imagine how it feels for a parent when their child dies? A father and a mother don’t want to lose any of their children, and this is an icon of understanding how God doesn’t want any of his children to be lost—how passionate God is about our salvation. God desires no one to be lost. Today, we’ll discuss how we can walk toward life and away from death as a fruit of sin. We’ll also dive deeper into how we can keep the life of grace and the heart of God fully alive in our souls.

Perseverance Not Pretty
Do you think God calls us to be perfect or just to be pretty? I think not. What we’re called to is not pretty or perfection but perseverance. Sometimes, having a very happy-looking social media feed is much easier than having a happy heart and home in reality.
