In all honesty if you had told us as young boys
who wasted countless hours of our lives in church trying to pray the gay away
that we someday would be standing in front of all of you
in our Catholic Church talking about our family on Father's Day we would never
have believed you.
So, with that in mind, if there's anybody watching today who may be in a similar place
in their lives, listen closely for the next few minutes, because I hope to show you that
it gets so much better.
Today, we heard the gospel where Jesus fed the masses from five loaves and two fishes,
clearly a miracle, something that is unexplainable, unexpected, and truly marvelous, where something
that started small became a huge blessing.
Well, our journey to fatherhood has been marked by a series of events that started small but
became huge blessings.
And while they may not meet the strict definitions of miracles, meaning no one will be gaining
sainthood here today, they are unexplainable, unexpected, and truly marvelous nonetheless.
