Though he is newly ordained a father in the priesthood,
Fr. Agostino siempre ha sido y sera siempre mi padrito amado.

These are just short snippets of a conversation we had earlier this morning. I pray that everyone will have someone in their life to love them as Jesus does.
"No words can capture how blessed I am by your life. There is something in a man that must be a father. Even though I know that you have grown so much, I know you. I know who you are. Not everything of course, but my heart is just so full of love for you. You have helped me know how a father feels."
"I also wanted to say that I am happy to see you growing beyond me. I am blessed, but at the same time it hurts. But I am more blessed that you have moved on and have continued to grow. It is not about me or even about you. It is about Christ in you."
"Aw, you sound like you have empty nest."
"Perhaps. Empty so that others can be hatched. But always open for you to rest your wings. I know what it means to be a man--to be a father. And I want to do this for you even if you never know. You will always have in me someone who knows where you have come from and what you have been through, and I love you even more. This is how God loves us only perfectly."
