Paragraph 2. THE FATHER
238
Many religions invoke God as “Father”. the deity is often considered
the “father of gods and of men”. In Israel, God is called
“Father” inasmuch as he is Creator of the world.59 Even more,
God is Father because of the covenant and the gift of the law to Israel,
“his first-born son”.60 God is also called the Father of the
king of Israel. Most especially he is “the Father of the poor”, of
the orphaned and the widowed, who are under his loving protection.61
