On this Fathers' Day, we are given the opportunity to ponder what it means to be children of God.
By His death and resurrection, Christ has adopted us into God's family, cleansing us who are in sin, and giving us a share in His identity as the Son of God.
But sharing in this identity means that we share also in His sufferings, taking up our Cross to follow Him. We don't merely bear His identity through belief, but furthermore through actions of mercy, giving of ourselves as Christ has done. We live out this relationship, seeking after Him Who alone satisfies us because His identity is upon us.
