Fatherhood was the main theme of Pope Francis' homily at morning Mass
celebrated in Santa Marta chapel. He said: The desire to be a father is
ingrained in all men, even priests, who are called to give life, care,
protection to their spiritual children entrusted to them. Pope Francis
was inspired by Wednesday's passage from Genesis, in which God promises
an elderly Abram the joy of a child, along with descendants as numerous
as the stars of heaven. He then asked priests to "defend" the people
entrusted to them with the heart of a father. Pope Francis said: "When a
man does not have this desire, something is missing. Something is
wrong. All of us, to exist, to become complete, in order to be mature,
need to feel the joy of fatherhood . . .
