Then he summoned his twelve disciples and gave

them authority over unclean spirits to drive them

out and to cure every disease and every illness.

The names of the twelve apostles are these: first,

Simon called Peter, and his brother Andrew;

James, the son of Zebedee, and his brother John;

Philip and Bartholomew, Thomas and Matthew

the tax collector; James, the son of Alphaeus, and

Thaddeus; Simon the Cananean, and Judas

Iscariot who betrayed him.

Jesus sent out these twelve after instructing them

thus, “Do not go into pagan territory or enter a

Samaritan town. Go rather to the lost sheep of the

house of Israel. As you go, make this

proclamation: ‘The kingdom of heaven is at

hand.”

Pope Francis on Fatherhood

Pope Francis dedicated an excellent reflection to the beauty of fatherhood and the danger of absent fathers. On two occasions, January 28 and February 4 of 2015, he has spoken particularly eloquently, moved by the harm that so many families suffer.

"Do you play with your children? Do you visit your ill or elderly parents? Do you listen to teenagers and young adults when they speak to you? Or perhaps you are a father who is only dedicated to work, losing what is essential?"

But at the same time, the Pope masterfully shows the beauty of fatherhood reminding us that "St. Joseph was also tempted to leave Mary, when he found out she was pregnant."

Here are 7 tips from Pope Francis for being better fathers and for growing along with your children: 1. A father doesn’t want children just like himself, but wise and free ones. 2. Rigor and steadfastness, rather than complicity and protection. Better to be a misunderstood father than a weak one. 3. A father who is present in the family, close to his wife and children. 4. A father who is present is not necessarily a controlling father 5. A good father is a patient father 6. Know how to forgive and not humiliate, but without being weak or complacent 7. The Our Father is brought to life in fatherhood that is forgiving of failure Taken from Aleteia.org, written by Ary Waldir Ramos Diaz on March 20, 2015
