Six hundred years ago, a man was born who first became the father of a large family and then the father of the homeland: Niklaus von Flüe (March 21, 1417). However, speaking of the father is difficult today. Often he is simply not present, and when he is, his image is frequently distorted. The longing for a good and merciful father is great. This book examines the father in his various aspects - both the human and the heavenly father. Many original texts reveal a new image of the father through light and darkness, which is liberating, encouraging, and healing. It touches life at its roots and can serve as a foundation and support for a new relationship with the father. The longing grows to return to the one who has been waiting for me with love for a long time. It is worth setting out on this journey!.
