Father of the Family
Here is a short summary of Father Jean-Dominique's book entitled Le Père de Famille. This summary will usually follow Father Jean-Dominique's book faithfully, but reflections not found in the book may be included as needed.

St. Paul to the Ephesians (3;14) : “Therefore, I bow my knees to the Father of Our Lord Jesus Christ, of whom all paternity in heaven and earth is named.”
Procreation & Education
Let us start with the first part of the role of the Father, which is to participate in the work of Creation by the procreation and education of his children.

Spiritual Leader of the Family
Let us now consider the role of the father of the family as a religious leader, this is as a minister of God for the redemption of his family.
