HAPPY FATHERS’ DAY!
Deacon Pat Edwards
My Dad had a rather dismissive attitude towards Fathers’ Day. He was strongly
of the view that it was the Mums who carried the large percentage of the demanding
and stressful work in parenting and the focus should be entirely on them. For him,
Fathers’ Day was a distraction from that strongly held view. To a degree, he was right.
Research shows that fathers generally, spend less than a quarter of the time alone with
their children that mothers do. Whilst social norms have changed markedly over the
past 50 years, it seems that many of us, especially children, view Mum as the nurturer,
the comforter, the one we turn to in times of trouble.
But healthy parenting is never the role of one parent only; it is a result of a
cooperative partnership of both a father and a mother. That is why the Church so often
speaks of the role of parents, and not of mothers and fathers individually. Nevertheless,
there is really no such thing as a ‘parent’ in the abstract. In real life parents are always
either a mother or a father, and it is recognised that mothers have different ways of
parenting to fathers; “Viva la difference” we might all say! So as we take time to reflect
on fatherhood, whether it be as father, grandfather or great-grandfather, how can we
complement our spouses and partners in this privileged role of parenting? These are
some reflections. Our example by the way we live is paramount. We can convey this by
displaying the joy of life in all that we do. Whether it be in mundane activities such as
shaving and working in the garden; in our work and play, we make clear our joyful
gratitude for all that God has given us. This same joy should be shown in the way we
worship, listen and respond to God’s word, in prayer and Christian service. We make
family a priority; every opportunity is taken to do things together as a family - meals,
holidays and sharing. And as fathers, allow ourselves to learn from our children, our
grandchildren and our great-grandchildren. The truth is they can teach us much. So let
us leave ourselves open to their influence to change our thinking and beliefs.
Fathers’ Day reinforces how blessed we are, how much we are surrounded by
grace through our children. And let us be conscious of those single parent families,
where mothers or fathers grapple with the task of being both to their children. We
might ask who are they in our parish community and in what ways can we support
them? There is much to reflect on. To all Dads, and in deference to my Dad,
Happy Fathers’ Day!

Entrance Hymn
GA 846—All are Welcome
Let us build a house where love can dwell
And all can safely live, A place where saints
and children tell How hearts learn to forgive.
Built of hopes and dreams and visions, Rock
of faith and vault of grace; Here the love of
Christ shall end divisions:
REFRAIN
All are welcome, all are welcome, all are
welcome in this place.
Let us build a house where prophets speak,
And words are strong and true, Where all
God’s children dare to seek To dream God’s
reign anew. Here the cross shall stand as
witness And as symbol of God’s grace; Here
as one we claim the faith of Jesus:
REFRAIN
Let us build a house where love is found In
water, wine and wheat: A banquet hall on
holy ground, Where peace and justice meet.
Here the love of God, through Jesus, Is
revealed in time and space; As we share in
Christ the feast that frees us:
REFRAIN
