II. Abba – “Father!”
O man, you did not dare to
raise your face to heaven, you lowered your eyes to the earth, and suddenly you
have received the grace of Christ all your sins have been forgiven. From being
a wicked servant you have become a good son…. Then raise your eyes to the
Father who has begotten you through Baptism, to the Father who has redeemed you
through his Son, and say: “Our Father…. ” But do not claim any
privilege. He is the Father in a special way only of Christ, but he is the
common Father of us all, because while he has begotten only Christ, he has created
us. Then also say by his grace, “Our Father,” so that you may merit
being his son.37
