Fr. Patrick Briscoe, O.P., on Ways to Understand God as Father

"Stop and reflect today on what it really means to call God 'Father.' . . . 

"The ancient understanding of God as 'father' is linked to God as creator. In the Scriptures, God is the author of life, the maker of all things. . . .

"The one who created life does not hesitate to re-fashion us in new life. With the advent of sin, the coming of brokenness into the world, God the Father works to restore us to life. . . ."

In a recent commentary, Father Patrick Briscoe, O.P., reflected on some of the ways we can understand God as Father, including God as creator, God as provider, and God's faithfulness.
