Thirteenth Stage: Fatherhood (1 Corinthians 4:14-16)

Theme: The LORD makes you a father of many.

The Apostle Paul said: “I am writing you this not to shame you, but to admonish you as my beloved children. Even if you should have countless guides to Christ, yet you do not have many fathers, for I became your father in Christ Jesus through the gospel. Therefore, I urge you, be imitators of me.

Let us meditate on how we completed our mission on earth and how we became fathers or mothers who bore a lot of people for the Kingdom of Heaven.  This is the Life to the Full.  It is to become a father or a mother who bears children for the Kingdom of God.

Let us pray for every person on earth, so that he/she takes this way in order to reach the Life to the Full.  May the will of God be fulfilled in each one of us. Amen.
