Paternal Heart

God’s invitation to each of us is to grow to be children of God (Rm 8:14-17). The ultimate end of Christian life is to become brothers and sisters of Jesus Christ. This is about growing into the likeness of Christ (1 Jn 3:2). A true Christian will take on this new nature in Jesus Christ and thus will adopt the heart of true child of God.

Jesus during his earthly life as man was granted St. Joseph as the foster-father. God in His Wisdom has chosen Joseph for this important task to be a father to the God-Man, Jesus. The father and child relationship is of great significance in a person’s growth, this is emulated in the case of St. Joseph as the foster father of Jesus. The significance of this relationship is not only in terms of the human level, such as being a protector, a role model, a provider, etc. It has also a very significant role in terms of a person’s spiritual growth.

Being the Year of St. Joseph, as proclaimed by Pope Francis (in Patris Corde), this upcoming retreat on the Paternal Heart will lead the participants into a deeper reflection on the role of St. Joseph in one’s spiritual growth as sons and daughters of God the Father. The Paternal Heart is one that launches followers of Christ into the world bearing the Good News of God’s Kingdom, as members of God’s household (Ep 2:19).
