This is just a puff piece really that offers no solutions and is too timid to even tackle what is destroying the family.

“It’s sad that in the whole liturgical year there isn’t a feast dedicated to the Father.” Isn’t it time?

Maybe it is because I grew up in a dysfunctional family, but it seems to me we celebrate the Father at least every Sunday in the form of the Eucharist? It is at that time my heart, my soul does cry out for Abba, my Father.
