Jesuit On "God As Our Father"


God as our Father, is the source of peace, love, and numberless other blessings. For, as soon as this becomes your habitual view of Him, those dark clouds, of which you have so often complained, will disappear, as the morning mists vanish before the rising sun.
A heavenly light will shine where darkness had brooded before; and instead of inordinate fear, there will spring up love, peaceful confidence, and a sweet familiarity with God.
You will seem to yourself a new creature, gifted with the wings of the dove, wherewith to fly to the highest perfection, for you will then love God with your whole heart and soul, as you so ardently desire.
