Almighty Father, I place the Precious Blood of Jesus before my lips before I pray, that my prayers may be purified before they ascend to Your divine altar.

Glory be to the Father, Who by His almighty power and love created me, making me in the image and likeness of God.

Glory be to the Son, Who by His Precious Blood delivered me from hell, and opened for me the gates of heaven.

Glory be to the Holy Spirit, Who has sanctified me in the sacrament of Baptism, and continues to sanctify me by the graces I receive daily from His bounty.

Glory be to the Three adorable Persons of the Holy Trinity, now and forever. Amen.

O Blessed Mother Assumed into Heaven, after years of heroic martyrdom on earth, we rejoice that you have at last been taken to the throne prepared for you in Heaven by the Holy Trinity.

Lift our hearts with you in the glory of your Assumption above the dreadful touch of sin and impurity.

"Call No Man Father"   In modern times family life has adapted to the cultural changes due to a more secular society. Much of our American culture have been affected by these changing norms, the rise of the fatherless homes have increased substantially.

What is important to understand about these changing times is that the role of fathers are the same though distant to many causing many problems. The major area of concern is without fathers in the lives of so many, somehow God the Father has been moved into seclusion. The father is the spiritual head of the family that hopefully gives a positive image of God the Father.

There are small groups of fundamentalists that that have taken the image of God the Father and have applied scripture erroneously indicating their opposition of calling a Catholic priest "Father". I've been challenged on this question many times which gives me the opportunity to share the truth in the matter.
