1. Not being a dad I can’t say from that perspective, but my dad always said the best Father’s Day gift was spending time together. I loved it too.
2. Saint Alphonsus was very big on his priests practicing detachment. In my experience life is so much better with less stuff. The price of stuff is always more than what you pay for it. I try to only acquire “needs” and not “wants.” Except books. Books are always needs.
3. I think daily spiritual reading is important, even if it’s only 10 or 15 minutes. (Not sure if you included this under personal prayer.)
“Books are always needs.” Thank you, Father, for affirming my ever-growing stacks of books (which are 95% theology-related, because I’m a person of few interests).
