Here we are, at the end of this novena!

Since I became a dad, I often think about what my of Godmother would say: “what you think you owe your parents, give it to your children.” Our dads on earth are our treasures, they always clear pieces of the path to our Heavenly Father: becoming a dad means becoming worthy of the same trust bestowed upon St. Joseph.

As a gift to you, here's a beautiful prayer to our Heavenly Father, which is also a praise to our dads on earth. Let us keep praying for all dads, that they may be worthy of this divine purpose!

Prayer:

Lord,

On this day, we praise you,

We give you thanks for our fathers,

Those who are still among us and those who are with you.

Yes, Lord, we thank you for our dads who play an important role in the heart of the family.

Your love is revealed to us through their daily care and dedication

Your joy becomes a part of us through their cheerful disposition,

We hear Your voice as they speak words of encouragement.

We thank you, Lord, for fathers, grandfathers, and fathers to be.

Show them your kindness by offering them today

the most beautiful day of their life.

Amen.

Practical action:

Today, I will devote time to my father on earth: I can write him a letter (and no, not just a text!), or call him (again, a text isn't enough!), or even better, I may pay him a visit, whether he is still among us, or already in the glory of Heaven. I'll also meditate how my outlook on him has changed after this novena.

Thank you
