6/18/23 The Need for Fathers

Homily from the Eleventh Sunday in Ordinary Time

Competent generosity is the key for healthy masculinity.

Jesus prays that His Church is never without shepherds. This world and His Church is in need of leaders, of shepherds, and of fathers. While we will always need women and mothers, we stand in particular need of fathers at this moment in history. We need both: strong and generous men and women to place their strength at the service of the people around them.
