A Father’s Love by
Martina Caffrey
- ISBN: 9781908024374
The author is a young woman in her late 20’s who lives in Co. Meath.
She was raised a Catholic and still has a strong belief in the Catholic faith. Like many others, she questioned her faith in her teenage years. After several spiritual experiences she sought the answers to her doubts by reading more deeply into the beliefs of the Catholic Church in order for her to see if she accepted and agreed with these beliefs. It was in her examination of the beliefs of the Catholic Church that she found an enriched and fulfilling basis for the love of God that she wished to express in her life. She started to practice her faith with a deeper knowledge and love of God as she now understood the reasoning and spirituality behind the beliefs and practices she had been taught in the Catholic Church. She completed an honours degree in Communication Studies in 2005 during which she wrote a thesis examining the attitudes of young people towards the Catholic Church. She found a lack of knowledge and misunderstanding of the beliefs of the Catholic Church and wished to instruct others to correct this. From 2006 until 2008 she wrote monthly articles in a traditional Catholic magazine, The Hibernian Magazine, on the beliefs of the Catholic faith. These articles were well received by the readers and upon the closure of the magazine she decided to write A Father’s Love in continuation of her work. She is seeking to correct the misconceptions surrounding the beliefs of the Catholic faith, especially among her fellow youth, in response to a call by the late Pope John Paul II who asked young people to go out and evangelise their fellow youth in the joys of the Catholic faith.

She recently was awarded the MA in Theology by Mater Dei Institute, DCU. She published a book in 2011
God is love, and he who abides in love abides in God, and God abides in him – We love because he first loved us.A” 1 John 4: 16, 19 God the Father loves us deeply and unconditionally. He sent us His Son Jesus Christ to show us His love for us. Through His coming to earth as a Man and through His death on the Cross, Jesus fulfilled the hope of the Jewish religion and laid the foundations for His Church on earth. This faith has been handed down to us through the Apostles led by St. Peter, the Rock, and his successors in the One Holy Catholic and Apostolic Church. It is in this Catholic faith that God shows us His love through the sacraments, graces and blessings He has bestowed on us. In this book, the central beliefs of the Catholic faith are explained and we see how the love of God for us and our love for Him shine through in these beliefs. This book is a stepping stone to those who wish to begin their study of the beliefs of the Catholic Church. It is a guide to those who are seeking the Truth in the hope that it will awaken a desire to learn more. It is the voice of a young Catholic speaking to the young and young at heart of the joys and love of God that exist in the Catholic faith. The consciousness that, in Christ, God has given himself for us, even unto death, must inspire us to live no longer for ourselves but for him, and, with him, for others. Whoever loves Christ loves the Church, and desires the Church to be increasingly the image and instrument of the love which flows from Christ.A” Deus Caritas Est, Pope Benedict XVI

I agree that McGinnty’s hand can be seen all over this not so young woman. However, in regard to GM’s doctorate. It was on Patristics and he showed great intellectual ability. But since coming under CG it has turned to putty.

Dear Martina…I hope you have not been too shocked by the revelations of the HOP and the danger of its philosophy and theology which I presume as a devout Catholic you are in a position to uphold the truth and separate yourself from private revelation….The church ….has as always is slow to cast judgement on claimed visions and apparitions….I put this question to you Martina….How do you account for her wealth which is spread amongst her family son and daughter all living in one million properties…..as a result of so called guidance by the Holy Spirit…..I say to you directly this is a travesty and a complete misinformed interpretaion of the Gospels….I do know and appreciate that you may have been brain washed and sucked into this unholy place….Please bear with me and realise that this organision is a money making machine……So many people I know have given so much of their life savings….and at the end of the day were left discarded without an once of charity to provide for their buriel and final resting place…..And so now I shall say adieu and can only hope that this simple email has shed some light on to the work ahead and find justice for all of those people and their families who have suffered .under the influence of CG and Fr McGinnity…..May the Wonderful
God of love be with us always now and forever……Mick

I have just picked up this latest blog from Martina Caffrey who states that her study of the messages from Christina Gallagher are in total communion with the teaching of the Catholic Church….I can understand her youth and enthusiam and commend her for that……Does she not understand that the HOP has no credence or backing from the catholic church and indeed is disobidient to the church and all its teaching…As this lady should know obedience to the Church authorities is paramount in the acceptance that her messages may come from God….She states…that Christinas messages could not be conjured up by herself as she had little education..and that she would not be able to compose such extraordinary theology and statements without divine intervention….At this point I have an idea where this is all coming from…Ofcourse…Christinas right hand man Fr McGinnity is by all accounts a first rate theologian even tho misguided has a Phd in marian theology and indeed is a highly intelligent man and indeed in my view is totally under the control of her ladyship CG…..I would encourage this lady who i have no doubt is very sincere to look up and explore with an open mind some of the crazy messages as delivered by the mother of God….According to Our Lady the message as per.Christina and I go back to 1999 unless we receive the seal of the living God by presenting ourselves in the HOP in Achill …..that no matter what sins we have comitted we are guaranteed eternal life…What an extraordinary statement….and promise….The last thing I wish to state to this young author is the word caution and discernment….Christina Gallagher is the owner of massive properties and this by the way is not just what I have learnt thru the newspapers but I know to be fact…..One of the principal witnesses Betty Morissey and her husband were coerced into signing away their life savings after a meeting in Mullingar….There were many more like them and for your information 1.8million euro was raised that night…..I dont wish to go on and on but I can only hope that you can see the light…..You see once upon a time I was blind but now I see…..God Bless….Mick

It doesn’t take much effort to understand the public statements of the Archbishop of Tuam on the house of prayer. The house of prayer has no backing whatever from the Catholic Church and the work of the house of prayer does not enjoy the confidence of the diocesan authorities. Devout members of the Catholic Church are guided by the statements of the Catholic Church authorities.
