God the Father

 Last Saturday, I went to my parish's Women's Faith Formation.  We are watching YouTubes of Father Dave Pivonka's Wild Goose series.  This one was on God the Father.  In the video, there was a comment that there are a plethora of Saint Days, --days devoted to Mary, there are feast days for the Holy Spirit, and of course, Jesus, but there isn't a single, universal feast for God the Father in the Catholic Church.  Being curious, I did a google search. There isn't.

Now, let me tell you about this religious sister, Mother Eugenia Elisabetta Ravasio.  She received private revelations from God the Father.  Yes, the church said there is nothing in them, that is wrong.  There is nothing absurd in them.  She isn't crazy.  But the church stopped short of saying that they were of divine origin.  The church doesn't promote her visions, but you can.  You can believe them, promote them, follow them.  You are free to do so.

First, let me tell you a little about Sister Eugenia.  She was born in Italy on September 4, 1902, Elisabetta Ravasio.  She entered the religious order of the Congregation of Our Lady of the Apostles. This is a missionary order.  Her religious name was Mother Eugenia.  During her life, she had revelations/visions/ apparitions of God the Father. There is a book about it, "The Father Speaks to His Children."  But also, she opened over 70 centers (schools, infirmaries, and a church), in Europe, Asia, and Africa.

Mother Eugenia had two visions, in which she conversed with God the Father.  The gist of these conversations were:

1. God the Father desires to be known, loved, and honored.
2. He is close to us.
3. He wants to be acknowledged, not just as Creator, but as a loving Father.
4. He would like a tangible sign of His presence among us--an image for all to honor.  A day set aside as "Father of All Mankind.

I found this interesting, since I've never heard any of it.  Why not have a day to remember God the Father?
