Catholic Dad

Catholic Dad, working on becoming the man God made me to be, seeking His will, taking my children by the hand and guiding them to Him.

Christmas had only just begun!
Let's invite the Christ child into our homes and hearts each day.
Let your light shine!

[Catholic Dad @TrueFatherhood]

Tonight I stand here, overwhelmed by the love of God. He has given me everything and continues to do so. How can I repay or even begin to thank the Lord?

How are you parenting?

Authority not authoritarianism.
Service not servility.
Obedient to God not obstinate to God.

#Communication is key.

How are you communicating with your kids & spouse? Is it w/ anger, resentment, or indifference? Try again.

If you have the love of Jesus, then #exude #joy.

Pray, Hope, and Don't Worry

Exude #joy!

In a world steeped in worries, doubts and fears - take a lesson from your children and spread joy!

God won't give you a mountain that you can't climb.

False.

Challenges are regularly placed in front of us that are beyond us. #parenting. God is calling to you in those moments. RUN to Him. Seek Him. Rely on Him.

How challenging is it to stop our "busy" lives for a moment to look our children in the eye and simply listen to their news and excitement?

Embrace joy. Embrace love. Strive to be the man God made you to be (for them).

Lord, bless me with the obedience of St. Joseph - that upon hearing Your will I would immediately shepherd my family to follow.

#forgiveness is a powerful lesson for children to learn.

Teach it. Practice it.

[Catholic Dad @TrueFatherhood]

#fatherhood wasn't meant to be done alone.

#motherhood is its natural compliment. The two are part of a whole. Working together, challenging eachother, supporting one another and loving eachother helps paint a complete picture of who God is for your child(ren).

[Catholic Dad @TrueFatherhood]

Parenting can be hard.
Fatherhood shouldn't be.

Be loving. Be humble. Be forgiving. Your failures, your struggles are natural. Ask the Lord for help and let your children witness.

[Catholic Dad @TrueFatherhood]

Want to be a good father?
Be a good son.

Your relationship with your Father in Heaven will be the source of example for your children's faith.

Christ showed us true love. Love is not tolerance, or acceptance of wrong. Love is guidance toward Truth with forgiveness and understanding

[Pope Francis – ARCHIVE @Pontifex266Arch]

Do not be content to live a mediocre Christian life: walk with determination along the path of holiness.

[Catholic Dad @TrueFatherhood]

Your primary duty as husband/father is to get your family to heaven. Let your life be the example they follow- let your life emulate Christ.

[Catholic Dad @TrueFatherhood]

Fatherhood is a blessed vocation. It has opened my eyes to God's love in new ways & given me a deeper appreciation for the gift of life.

[Catholic Dad @TrueFatherhood]

Preach the gospel every day. Use words if necessary.

[Catholic Dad @TrueFatherhood]

We struggle w/ a world seeped in a culture of death. But the battle over death has already been won. Just pick a side #chooseChrist #prolife

[Catholic Dad @TrueFatherhood]

Remember your family in your prayers by name. Give thanksgiving to God for the gift they are. Being a husband & father is a daily blessing.
