We Dads are a fairly simple lot, most of us. Just feed us a good meal and give us some peace and quiet, and most of us will be quite happy today. Besides, for most fathers every day is Father’s Day, as we quietly thank God for giving us that honor and that responsibility.
Happy Father's Day
Donald R. McClarey
Cradle Catholic. Active in the pro-life movement since 1973. Father of three, one in Heaven, and happily married for 41 years. Small town lawyer and amateur historian. Former president of the board of directors of the local crisis pregnancy center for a decade.
For some if us it is a very mixed day due to divorce and the support of the Church for our adulterous spouses and their lovers, which encourages unending loss of faith in our children(and ourselves) as well as confusion, divided loyalties and often, very unhealthy life styles.
I am grateful for my parents and, especially today, for my father who was baptized in the Episcopal Church, raised, essentially, as a Presbyterian and died receiving a Catholic burial. He was always there.
God bless you, Dad. I love you.
I can even skip the good meal and have leftovers as long as there is peace and quiet.
And my children are doing what they’re supposed to be doing, which has nothing to do with Father’s Day.
