Feast Day of God the Creator – The Almighty Father of All Mankind (August 7)
The Catholic Church commemorates and celebrates many feast days in honour of Our Lord Jesus Christ, such as His Nativity, Baptism, Holy Name, Body and Blood, Passion, Crucifixion, Resurrection, Ascension, and many other sacred mysteries. Likewise, there are numerous feast days dedicated to the Blessed Virgin Mother Mary, the Saints, and the Martyrs, all of which are observed with great devotion by the faithful. These feast days become occasions of abundant graces, blessings, and, for many devotees, remarkable answers to their prayers.
The Church also celebrates the Solemnity of the Pentecost in honour of the Holy Spirit, the Third Person of the Most Holy Trinity. However, there is no universally established feast day in the Catholic Church specifically dedicated to 'God the Father' alone. Nevertheless, according to the private revelations received by the Italian mystic Mother Eugenia Elisabetta Ravasio, the Eternal Father expressed His desire for a special feast in His honour.
Mother Eugenia Elisabetta Ravasio was born on September 4, 1907, and entered into eternal life on August 10, 1990. According to her testimony, God the Father appeared to her and communicated many sacred messages, which she wrote down in Latin—a language she had never learned. The central message was the loving request of God the Father that one day in the liturgical year be dedicated as the "Feast of the Father of All Mankind," to be observed either on the first Sunday of August or on August 7 each year.
The love of the Heavenly Father is beyond human understanding and imagination. His love for humanity is so immense and everlasting that His compassionate Heart continually longs for the people whom He created. It was out of this boundless love that He sent His only Son to redeem the fallen world. As Sacred Scripture declares:
"For God so loved the world that he gave his only Son, that whoever believes in him should not perish but have eternal life." (John 3:16)
Even though God the Father is glorified through every celebration and commemoration of the Son and the Holy Spirit, would it not be fitting for us to set aside a special day to honour Him as the Father of All Mankind, whether on the first Sunday of August or on August 7, and seek His special blessings?
Those who wish to prepare more prayerfully for this feast may begin reciting the Novena to God the Father nine days before the chosen date, welcoming this celebration with greater devotion and reverence.
We love, adore, worship, and thank You, O Heavenly Father, together with Your beloved Son and the Holy Spirit, now and forever. Amen.
I have been trying to get people read the message of God the Father but to no avail. Most of the people did not even bother to read the book I gave them. Today, 4th of August, I offered Holy Mass in honor of God the Father. I will continue to efforts....to make His message known.

DeleteI am just reading the Father Speaks to His Children booklet in our Adoration Chapel as I sit here. Thank you for spreading this message. It is very powerful. Would I have access to buy a picture to display in my home? And perhaps a couple copies of this booklet to share? Thank you
