III. “Our” Father
2793
The baptized cannot pray to “our” Father without bringing before him all
those for whom he gave his beloved Son. God’s love has no bounds, neither
should our prayer.52 Praying “our” Father opens to us the
dimensions of his love revealed in Christ: praying with and for all who do not
yet know him, so that Christ may “gather into one the children of
God.”53 God’s care for all men and for the whole of creation has
inspired all the great practitioners of prayer; it should extend our prayer to
the full breadth of love whenever we dare to say “our” Father.
