In 2014, my father passed away. Although he was physically there, he lacked an emotional bond with his family. He had his own way of loving his family, but he couldn't give what he never experienced.

My mother was the one who introduced me to Catholicism, took me to church every Sunday, and ensured I received the sacrament. She played a crucial role in strengthening my bond with the Church and deepening my faith in Christ. Despite his belief in God, my dad kept his distance from church. Nevertheless, he would frequently request to be prayed for during mass.

Following the funeral, I consulted with a priest for support and guidance in coping with my grief. His words were the trigger for my conversion and introduction to God the Father. His words served as a reminder that my father would remain in my heart despite my sorrow. His love for you will never fade. Nevertheless, today he is delivering you into the care of your Heavenly Father.

Initially, I didn't comprehend the priest's message. I had faith in God and was committed to my religious practices. Still, I had not forged a personal bond with Christ. My perception of God during that time was shaped by the absence of an emotional bond with my father and the trauma I experienced in my childhood.

His Voice and guidance were the last things on my mind. My image of God the Father was compromised and distorted for many years. Through the Holy Spirit and the encouragement of Christian brothers, I was blessed with healing, grace, and mercy. I was able to reconcile with my father and forgive him.

Through the Blessed Virgin Mary, my image of God as a loving Father was healed, guiding me on my spiritual path.

Over the past month, my focus has been on contemplating the compassionate God the Father, all sparked by a documentary called My father's Father.

Throughout this documentary, we follow Fr. Dave Pivonka, as he journeys home to reflect on the urgent need to know God as Father amidst the backdrop of his hometown and the relationship he shared with his dad.

This poignant documentary series explores the transformative impact of embracing our inheritance, unraveling the intricate tapestry of fear, doubt, shame, and brokenness to reveal a loving Father– for each of us.

All the episodes were really enjoyable for me. The confirmation that God is seeking and patiently waiting for us, withholding until we, like the Prodigal Son, come to our senses and find solace in Him, fills me with hope. My father's Father needs to be watched by many people.

The documentary serves as a confirmation of what the priest shared with me after my dad's funeral in 2014 - that my father had passed the baton to God the Father.

I had no idea about the extent of God the Father's love, desire to see me, and relentless search for me.

HE loves you too. HE wants to see you too. HE is looking for you as well.

If you have doubts and have been away from home, watch my father's Father. Then go to a church, sit in front of the tabernacle, ask Him to show His love, and let's talk.

A prayer specifically for young men from broken homes who grew up without fathers and have a distorted perception of God the Father, causing them to reject Him.
