Our Fathers Are Not Infallible

in·fal·li·ble

adj \(ˌ)in-ˈfa-lə-bəl\


1: incapable of error :
unerring <an infallible memory>

2: not liable to mislead, deceive, or disappoint : certain <an infallible remedy>
3: incapable of error in defining doctrines touching faith or morals

As we grow up our fathers are there for us, they read us bedtime stories, they play games with us, they are our providers … our heroes. They are infallible in our eyes. It is such a shock when they are proven mortal. It seems impossible but yet it is…

Preghiera di San Francesco

Lord, make me an instrument of your peace;
where there is hatred, let me sow love;
where there is injury, pardon:
where there is doubt, faith ;
where there is despair, hope
where there is darkness, light
where there is sadness, joy
O divine Master,
grant that I may not so much seek to be consoled as to console;
to be understood, as to understand;
to be loved, as to love;
for it is in giving that we receive,
it is in pardoning that we are pardoned,
and it is in dying that we are born to Eternal Life.
Amen.

Il San Francesco preghiera per compassione
O Signore, fa’ di me uno strumento della tua Pace:
Dove è odio, fa’ ch’io porti l’Amore.
Dove è offesa, ch’io porti il Perdono.
Dove è dubbio, ch’io porti la Fede.
Dove è disperazione, ch’io porti la Speranza.
Dove è tristezza, ch’io porti la Gioia.
Dove sono le tenebre, ch’io porti la Luce.
O Maestro, fa’ ch’io non cerchi tanto:
Essere consolato, quanto consolare.
Essere compreso, quanto comprendere.
Essere amato,quanto amare.
Poiché sì è
Dando, che si riceve;
Perdonando che si è perdonati;
Morendo, che si risuscita a Vita Eterna.
