Father's Day

I went for mass today and in the church bulletin was an article written by our parish priest, Father Philip Heng, S.J., on Father's Day.

Here's an extract:

One person whom we can easily take for granted is the father of the family. This Sunday is "Father's Day". Our dad - the silent provider; the selfless strength whom we can depend on in our needs, and in times of the pains and trials we face. Dad complements mom; we need them both to grow up in wholesome ways. While mom nutures us through her caring ways, dad too is indispensable for our emotional and spiritual growth. In so many ways, dad reminds us of the unconditional love, care and protection of God in our lives.

How true it is! There is always so much hype for Mother's Day - but we must not forget our fathers. 
Dad is always there - the silent rock in my life, always supportive and giving.


Happy Father's Day!
