In this section, we will
go through the Our Father, line by line, and
discuss its meaning.
Jesus
tells us to call God, “Our Father.” God is not some remote being that
barely cares for us or pays little attention to us. He is
Our Father.
How much more than our human fathers will he care for us? He is our
dad, our daddy, our papa! The Father is in
heaven,
where we wish to
join him. The saints and angels are there and praising him. Since
heaven is being with God, when we are living his will here on earth, we
already are starting to be in heaven. Notice we don’t say “My Father!”
We are praying this prayer with everyone else and for everyone else in
the kingdom.
