Series on “The Father” by Fr. Mark-Mary Ames, CFR (Part 3)
Imagine the way you would gaze upon your newborn baby for the first time. This is the universal way the Father loves everyone. He’s constantly looking at us, delighting in us, and rejoicing in our existence. The Father’s gaze is always filled with the same delight, love, and rejoicing as a father’s first look at his newborn. This is how our Heavenly Father looks at us, delights in us, rejoices, and contemplates us right now. Even when we feel distant or surrounded by darkness, it’s an illusion; it’s not true. We are always gazed upon with love and intimacy.
This episode discusses the intimacy the Father wants to invite us into.

Step One
Jesus not only loves us — He thirsts for us. Why does He say “I thirst”? What does it mean? It’s something so hard to explain in words. I thirst is something much deeper than Jesus just saying, “I love you”. Mother Teresa tells us how much love Jesus has for each of us — beyond all that we can imagine. In her words…

Christ the Bridegroom (Lent 2024)
How does a bridegroom love his bride? That is how Jesus loves each one of us. He meets us wherever we are in life to be our beloved and for us to be His. The Lord meets us in the desert, our place of poverty, where He betroths us to Him, and He betroths Himself to us. In this way, Jesus, as the bridegroom, reveals a quality of love, the way God loves. In this episode, we aim to understand better what it means to have Jesus…
