To bring himself and his family to God.
That task requires self-discipline, wisdom, patience,
strength and understanding.
Small minds and hearts of children are not easy to guide;
adolescent minds and hearts are bewildered and battered at times;
the minds and hearts of young adults are often lost
or too embarrassed to seek guidance.
For them a father is a steady example
of perseverance and good,
a beacon for wondering and wandering minds.
How could a father's task be done
unless he remembered his children were created
by a loving, wise and merciful God
who is with his children - and with him?
