"The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ
and the love of God and
the fellowship of the Holy Spirit be with you all."

"And also with you."




Dearest Brother and Sister in the Lord,
Welcome to "Father I love You." a home with good food for the spiritually hungry. 
Included in this site are two good books, "Marriage in the Kingdom." and, "Bless the Lord my soul."
"Marriage in the Kingdom." is a great spiritual director for you and your family. This book was written after having given retreats on marriage for some twelve years in the Province of Ontario. 
The second book, "Bless the Lord my soul." is an eye opening experience. It describes our rational soul, its parts and the interconnectivity between soul and body. It also examines quite closely what our "spirit" is (a spirit made in God's image and likeness. (Genesis 1:26)) and how we should live in this our spirit and not by any other value the world may present to us.
I decided that these two books, and others that will follow, should be read freely, (though hard copies may be purchased) and this for two reasons:
1. "Marriage in the Kingdom." was written based on the experiences and sufferings I witnessed in so many marital situations when I gave retreats on this subject. How can I charge others to learn from the experiences of so many broken hearts, experiences shown to me by my guardian angel.
2. "Bless the Lord my soul." was an experience given to me by God, wherein I saw my spirit and my soul, and was made aware of the differences and relationships between the two. How can I charge for something given to me by God? Further, we are told by Jesus, "Heal the sick, raise the dead, cleanse the lepers, cast out demons. Freely you received, freely give." (1) Nonetheless, I would remind readers that these books are under copyright protection (see legal pages).

There are a great many of us who are sick spiritually, who are dead spiritually, who are spiritual lepers and many who are possessed by demons (spirits not made in God's image and likeness.) Most of them through no fault of their own, are being denied a lifetime of peace, happiness and security as God's Children. (2) These books are for these brothers and sisters that (with the angels and saints) they may live their lives as Princes and Princesses in their Father's Kingdom, being about His affairs. (3)

You will recall a long time ago large crowds had left their towns and went on foot to see Jesus. He had pity on them and came ashore to heal the sick and . . .
"When evening came, the disciples went to him and said, This is a lonely place, and the time has slipped by; so send the people away, and they can go to the villages to buy themselves some food." The disciples were asking our dear Lord to send the crowds away so that they could see to their own needs. Shrugging their shoulders, they said there was nothing they could do. But, Jesus replied: "There is no need for them to go: give them something to eat yourselves.

But they answered, All we have with us is five loaves and two fish. Bring them here to me he said. He gave orders that the people were to sit on the grass; then he took the five loaves and the two fish, raised his eyes to heaven and said the blessing. And breaking the loaves he handed them to his disciples who gave them to the crowds. They all ate as much as they wanted, and they collected the scraps remaining, twelve baskets full. Those who ate numbered about five thousand men to say nothing of women and children." (Matthew 14:15-21)
I rejoice in this event. Our dear Lord showed me (through His apostles) what I would have done, had I been in their shoes, those wonderful, human, fragile, transparent apostles who played our roles on that stage 2,000 years ago. (See footnote 4.)

Over the years, in spite of all my meanderings, detours, procrastinations and contentment living in the darkness, with the grace of God I have been able to gather a few loaves and a few fishes. And so my dear brothers and sisters in the Lord, on our King's instructions, I bring them to you. In Him, with Him and through Him I, "said the blessing." There's plenty, eat to your fill, there will be a lot left over. Let our dear Lord help you build His Church in your home. By your example (the most powerful force in the world) share Christ’s loving presence with each member of your family. Through Him, with Him and in Him, you will restore their confidence, their trust, their courage their audacity to truly be alive, bursting with happiness as God’s children in our Father’s Kingdom.

All praise, honor, benediction and glory to our dear Lord who truly watches over us as He promises.

God bless you,

Deacon Raymond and Florence.

Footnotes.

(1) Matthew 10:5-15 (New American Standard Bible)
5 These twelve Jesus sent out after instructing them: "Do not go in the way of the Gentiles, and do not enter any city of the Samaritans;
6 but rather go to he lost sheep of the house of Israel.
7 "And as you go, preach, saying, 'The kingdom of heaven is at hand.'
8 "Heal the sick, raise the dead, cleanse the lepers, cast out demons. Freely you received, freely give.
9"Do not acquire gold, or silver, or copper for your money belts,
10 or a bag for your journey, or even two coats, or sandals, or a staff; for the worker is worthy of his support.
11"And whatever city or village you enter, inquire who is worthy in it, and stay at his house until you leave that city.
12 "As you enter the house, give it your greeting.
13 "If the house is worthy, give it your blessing of peace. But if it is not worthy, take back your blessing of peace.
14 "Whoever does not receive you, nor heed your words, as you go out of that house or that city, shake the dust off your feet.
15 "Truly I say to you, it will be more tolerable for the land of Sodom and Gomorrah in the day of judgment than for that city.

(3) Further, I do not wish to spend my time selling, marketing and promoting what is fundamentally the work of the Holy Spirit, when it can be freely available on the Internet. I have more books to write. For persons who would like to make a gift of hard copy to family or friends or persons who are in need, hard copies are available, simply write for more info in the enclosed Email boxes.

(4) Though there were thousands who were hungry, our dear Lord did not even consider selling them food. He fed everyone freely, as much as they wanted. This is the way in the KIngdom of God.
