The Prayer Jesus taught gives us the
essentials of Christian Faith. It begins with the incredibly profound and
comforting words that God is our father. I remember bursting into tears the
first time I sang the song “I have a father”. “Father” is the first Theological
definition of God in the Trinity. Father reminds us that God is ultimately our
creator through His creation, including our human mothers and fathers. Fathers create,
sustain and protect us as children of God. The Readings for today remind us that:
- God is our
father,
- Relationship
with God depends on our loyalty and
- Believers have a life of love, joy and peace - and authority in the metaphysical dimension.
