In this homily, given on Father's Day (June 16th, 2024), Dcn Josh expounds upon St. Paul's message that faith allows us to live courageously in our earthly life as we set our hope on eternal life. He then explains how the parables in the Gospel (the farmer observing growth and the mustard seed) apply to fatherhood. The sacrifices fathers make for their families are like little seeds which take root in their children's hearts. Let us thank God for our natural and spiritual fathers, and let us pray that they receive the grace they need to be icons of our Heavenly Father!
