Series on “The Father” by Fr. Mark-Mary Ames, CFR (Part 3)
Imagine the way you would gaze upon your newborn baby for the first time. This is the universal way the Father loves everyone. He’s constantly looking at us, delighting in us, and rejoicing in our existence. The Father’s gaze is always filled with the same delight, love, and rejoicing as a father’s first look at his newborn. This is how our Heavenly Father looks at us, delights in us, rejoices, and contemplates us right now. Even when we feel distant or surrounded by darkness, it’s an illusion; it’s not true. We are always gazed upon with love and intimacy.
This episode discusses the intimacy the Father wants to invite us into.
