Deacon Joe Grote joins Doug to discuss his book&nbsp;Where Have All The Fathers Gone? &nbsp; Listener questions and comments: <ul> <li>Walt - Government policy doesn't help keep fathers in the home. It rewards single parenthood. There should be incentives to keep families together. (18:56)</li> <li>Lisa - I wanted to share how my son is a great boy in spite of losing his father. We need fathers but sometimes when there is no options they can still turn out fine. (22:22)</li> <li>Elaine - I want to share how great my dad was. He had 10 kids and he was a WWII He taught us to love the faith. He was the rock of the family. (25:20)</li> <li>Peter - I think it starts with groundwork before you have the kids. It starts with the desire to be a parent. (37:27)</li> <li>Caesar - I was blessed with my father who was from Mexico. He taught me how to treat women and keep my faith.

Reviving the Influence of Fatherhood

"I love the freedom of others," said St. Josemaría, "yours, that of the person passing by right now on the street, because if I didn't love it, I couldn't defend mine. But that's not the main reason. The main reason is this: that Christ died on the Cross to give us freedom, so that we could live in the freedom and glory of the children of God." 
 St. Josemaría Escrivá referred to himself as the "Last of the Romantics," and under this title Mariano Fazio portrays the founder of Opus Dei as a passionate defender of freedom. As he does so, Fazio offers an orderly, clear, and attractive presentation of many of St. Josemaría's key teachings. These teachings will challenge his readers and hopefully awaken in them the same love of freedom that St. Josemaría bore in his heart. "Don't let me be 'the last of the romantics,'" he would say. "This is Christian romanticism: to love the freedom of others, with love and affection."

Last of the Romantics

In the first episode of Psalm 2 Foundations, Fr. John Boles explores the dynamics of authority and love within the father-son relationship, using a metaphor of a father and his young son to illustrate the balance between discipline and affection. It delves into the concept of divine authority, emphasizing the importance of recognizing a higher power within familial relationships.

Clearly, the recognition as a Eucharistic “seeing‑Jesus”: the disciples’ first proper confession of the Resurrected Lord at the dawn‑shore meal. He recognizes because he was a contemplative. Because he loved Jesus, was close to him, so close, so faithful. He was humble. In December of 1976 , Blessed Alvaro said: &quot;Be convinced that humility is always a starting point&quot;(Family letters II, 113)Music: Heartbreaking by Kevin MacLeod incompetech chosic.comThumbnail: James Tissot, Christ on the shore of the Lake of Tiberias, 1886-1894.
