Show HideJoin us in praying the Novena to God the Father!
We can never fully understand the holy mystery of the Blessed Trinity while we live in this fallen world, and even in heaven we won’t be able to fully comprehend the depths of this mystery. Yet God has revealed to us that He is three Persons in one God, and we believe what He has revealed to us.
In God the Father, we have a loving Creator whose relationship to us is illuminated by the relationship between human fathers and their children. When we wish to contemplate God’s parental love for us and to relate to God as His child, we can turn to God the Father in prayer.
We should never doubt God’s Fatherly love for us, even when we don’t feel His presence. The love of God the Father for us is never-ending.
Let’s offer prayers in this Novena to God the Father that we may grow in intimacy with our loving Creator each day!
