Opening Prayer
Together:
+ O God, to fall in love with You is the greatest romance, to seek You, the greatest adventure, to find You, the greatest human achievement. Loving Father teach us to love You with all our heart, all our soul, all our mind, and all our strength. (Memorize this)*
Hail Mary…
Come Holy Spirit, enlighten our minds and ignite our hearts with the fire of your Divine Love. +Amen
*When Jesus was a boy, St Joseph taught Him to memorize and pray always “You shall love the LORD your God with all your heart…” which is the first and Greatest Commandment for us to obey! -Mt 22:38 The more that you love God, the happier you will be!
1st guide completed on Strong Catholic Dad 3.0. my kids- ages 10, 8, 6, 4, and 2 seemed to enjoy it and was easy to get through. Now, off for our activity which I anticipate being a nice change from the previous guides. Some carefree time spent will be nice!
The magic trick at the end was SO COOL. My 6-year old daughter replicated the trick for my 24 yr old daughter and her fiance. They were both stumped and a bit shocked at how the heck she did that right in front of their eyes!
The video about Patrick was relevant to our family given that we have a special needs son as well whom brings a great many challenges to our house as well. Seeing the love and effort this father provides his son was inspirational for me to continue to do what I can for my son. Additionally I believe by virtue of my other children having viewed this video will help provide a new perspective to them as well.
May God bless you for all you do for the Least of His people, as well as us struggling dads, in this troubled world.
Peace and blessings.
