It has come to a time when, after long wandering and fatherlessness, a person began to form through the need for the restoration of fatherhood.

But what kind of fathers do we need? We do not need powerful, totalitarian fathers who destroy our freedom. We need fathers who see the goal, who see and understand where we are supposed to go, who see the Source of life. They look at where we can move. True fathers look to the future.

A father can be weak, can be the old man, can be infirm. That is not a problem, because I can carry him on my shoulders, as Aeneas carried his father. Because, the most important thing in the fatherhood is not a strength, but the gaze. And if I turn to the past to meet the gaze that looks toward the future, it gives me the energy and hope to move forward.”
