A Novena of Meditations on the Father's Love -OR- on Fatherhood

But while he was yet at a distance, his father
saw him and had compassion (Luke 15:20).

There is some overlap here with other collections of passages, like with those on God's Love and on Being Children of God, but I wanted to present passages with this post which specifically illustrate the solicitude which God the Father directs toward us - his children in Christ Jesus - as a loving Father.

Cast all your anxieties on him, for he cares about you.  (1 Peter 5:7)
