III. “Our” Father
2790
Grammatically, “our” qualifies a reality common to more than one
person. There is only one God, and he is recognized as Father by those who,
through faith in his only Son, are reborn of him by water and the
Spirit.47 The Church is this new communion of God and men. United with
the only Son, who has become “the firstborn among many brethren,” she
is in communion with one and the same Father in one and the same Holy
Spirit.48 In praying “our” Father, each of the baptized is
praying in this communion: “The company of those who believed were of one
heart and soul.”49
