Who’s Your Daddy?

Praise God that we belong to the amazing family of God! We recently returned from a trip to Rome where we saw so many churches with relics and chapels dedicated to the Saints who are our brothers and sisters. There are so many who were martyred for the faith or great teachers or mystics. Some started orders that are still serving the church today. It was amazing to see the evidence of such a great family. Of course the highlight was the Papal Audience where we saw the Holy Father, the wonderful leader of the family of God on earth. It was an honor to have been in his presence. We were filled with gratitude for his leadership and fathering of such a big family! Take time to share with your family how important the larger family of God is. Pray for the Pope!
