One of the most beautiful truths of our faith is that God is our loving Father. In this meditation we consider seven consequences of this reality:

• God has a purpose for each one of us
• God loves us and we should love him in return
• We should talk with our Father in prayer
• God respects our freedom and when we sin we should be sorry and ask his forgiveness through the sacrament of Penance
• As a good Father, God disciplines us and allows us to suffer
• God watches over us in his loving Providence so we should trust him and not be anxious
• God wants us to go home to the Father’s house when we die and we should long to be with him there
