My husband and I were raised in Catholic families in Colombia, and from an early age our parents taught us the fundamental moral principles of the Catholic religion. But on April of 1989, when we were born again, we began to understand the true meaning of being a Christian and since then our relationship with God has become more personal. Since then we began to write. José Joaquin wrote reflections about the love of God and messages of hope for humanity, and I wrote wise advice for all families everywhere.

PRODIGAL FATHER


Hello family and friends. The story of the prodigal son is well known (read it in Luke 15: 11-32). But now leaving the prodigal sons, there are also some men who might be called prodigal fathers who, although they have not traveled to distant countries, closely resemble the prodigal son of the Bible. Why? It is because they don't care or spend time with their family. Because they are living with pride and think that only giving economic support to his family, it makes them good parents. They believe that everything at home is doing very well by unloading all the responsibility of the raising of children on his wife. Well, they don't realize that their absence will bring bad consequences. Over time, the wife and children lose love and respect for them. They beget children, but they don't spend time with his children and they become like strangers. The time will also come when he lacks the affection of his wife, but there is no longer love or marriage communication.
It is when he would like to change, ask for forgiveness and start again, but for some his pride prevents him from confessing his sin. Hopefully you will hear the voice of God touching your heart and be able to say: I will get up and go to my wife and children and tell them that I have sinned against God and against my family, and I am not worthy to be called father and husband; I have wasted their money and time, so I deserve contempt, but if God has mercy on me and my family finds it in their hearts to forgive me, I am ready to change and recover everything lost. This will be the best decision of a prodigal father. If this is your current situation, go seek God's and your family's forgiveness before it's too late and you find yourself standing in ruins.
I cannot fail to mention that there are also responsible parents, who are taking care of their flock with diligence, discipline, perseverance, vigilance, protection and love. They have known how to exercise the role of priests of God to bless his wife and together they can instruct their children on the right path. This is a noble work that should be perpetuated from generation to generation. Remember, great things can happen if we trust in God's mercy; Say no to rebellion because God is filling you with his grace as you open your heart to him.
HAPPY FATHER'S DAY!!!
With love,

WRITER'S NOTE: Beloved family, it is a blessing from God to wake up on a day like today and be speechless discovering that the Lord in his infinite mercy has given me one more day of life, the same as this numerous and wonderful family. They got up early to show me their love in many different ways. I thank them and love them so much that with each message I cried and thought that each one is perfect, forgetting that the only perfect one is God. Each one has its different peculiarities, which for me are non-defective qualities. I tell you that sometimes my spirit and my body could fail, but God strengthens my heart and what I have lost in strength, because He is my eternal inheritance. I like the simple: A hug, take care of yourself, I love you, wear something that is cold, let me know when you arrive. All these details are not obtained with money, but with the love of a mother. I love you all, Maria Fanny (5/10/2020 - Mother's Day).
