Greetings in the name of our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ, and to Him be the Glory,  Power, and Dominion forever and ever, and to the Holy Ghost yet abiding in the body. 

As we focus on the day set aside to recognize all fathers, which includes God-fathers,  Grandfathers, and all Uncles who have taken on the role of being fathers to their nieces  and nephews who are fatherless. You are appreciated for all you have done to help raise  and inspire those who look to you for wisdom to cope in a world filled with trouble. They  look to you for strength, and they look to you as an example of what it takes to survive. 

I celebrate each of you and also encourage you to continue being a shining example before  all children. Every father should remember that one day his children will follow his  example rather than his advice. Albert Einstein once said, “Setting an example is not the  main means of influencing others, it is the ONLY means.” Fathers, you can bring out the  best in your children by being a good example yourself. Also, Titus 2:7 reads, “In all things  shewing thyself a pattern of good works: in doctrine shewing uncorruptness, gravity,  sincerity,” 

May this Father’s Day bring you abundant blessings from above, filled with joy, peace and  plenty of love! Remember, ““…With God, all things are possible.” 

In His Service,
