Our families are in crisis. Father Broom preaches on the Feast Day of the Holy Family. There are many wolves today attacking the family – premarital sex, cohabitation, easy and widespread divorce, adultery, pornography, the promotion of same sex unions.
Father Broom hones in on one area where we can act to strengthen the family and thereby strengthen our society – fatherhood. We have a crisis in fatherhood and that weakens many many families. What are the qualities of a strong holy father? How can we support fathers in their mission?
To be a good father, the man must be a good son of God the Father. To have a family of faith a man must be a man of faith.
To be a good father, the man must love his wife. God is first in the marriage and the spouse is second and the children third. This is the correct order.
To be a strong and holy father, the man must love his children. He must provide for them materially AND spiritually.
Holy and Strong Fathers produce Holy and Strong Families and those families produce a society filled with God’s love, mercy and peace.
Father Ed Broom OMV is a member of the Oblates of the Virgin Mary and is Associate Pastor at St. Peter Chanel Church in Hawaiian Gardens California.
