I spent one full year working on the Our Father to pray it with love for the Father. Just to give you a sense for the length of one repair.<br /><br />Interestingly, I have naturally gone on to realize that I need the brotherhood from my Lord Jesus. Someone to model myself after. My 3-year old is teachng me this by how he wants to mimic his older 5-year old brother. (I never had a brother.) I think the small Mens Group setting will heal this aspect.<br /><br />My question to you is about the "sage". I'm inclined toward "patriarch" for two reasons. First, patriarch is more coincident with the "archbishop" or other heirarchy within the Church that is a very good model. Second, patriarch seems to imply more of an on-going protector mode. Like 'sage', patriarch also implies wisdom and stability.<br /><br />Please pardon my wordsmithing - I view this as an evolving understanding that you too are working to derive and discern.<br /><br />Faithfully yours,Scapularhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01124047302719372107noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2992835394733585115.post-3168485667325114672009-02-08T06:21:00.000-08:002009-02-08T06:21:00.000-08:00Father: I enjoyed this post. Lifting all we have ...Father:<BR/> I enjoyed this post. Lifting all we have to God is the key to the success of remaining in His love. Young ones, especially in this age have an advantage to have a great relationship with God. Love for the world takes away that advantage. I pray for the youths today to be silent for a moment and listen to God. Yes, they will be amazed at what He has to say in regards to His love for them. God bless you father as you enjoy this day and the week ahead. Prosit.Anthony's Blog-From Phila.https://www.blogger.com/profile/00027990702647480364noreply@blogger.com
