Jesus called God ‘Abba’. The word means ...‘Father’. Yet, it is not the usual form of the word ‘father’, but rather a children’s word, and affectionate name which one would not have dared to use in speaking to God. It is the language of the one who is truly a ‘child’, the Son of the Father, the one who is conscious of being in communion with God, in deepest union with him.

Through Christ we know God truly. 'No one has ever seen God, ' says St. John. The one 'who is close to the Father's heart...has made him known.' Now we see God as he truly is: he is Father, and this is an absolute goodness to which we can entrust ourselves.

The humility, poverty, even the ignominy of the Passion, enable us to know what God is truly like. The Face of the Son faithfully reveals that of the Father.

The splendor of the face of God, shining upon us and granting us peace, is the manifestation of his fatherhood: the Lord turns his face to us, he reveals himself as our Father and grants us peace.

The Lord is our good and provident Father, who gives his children their heritage and lavishes life-giving food upon all. God who created the heavens and the earth and the great heavenly bodies, who entered human history to bring all his children to salvation is the God who fills the universe with his presence of goodness, caring for life and providing bread.

In Jesus, under the guidance of the Holy Spirit, we can address God ... with the trust and abandonment of children who turn to a Father who loves them with an infinite love.

|
Jesus has revealed to us that man is essentially a “son”, a creature who lives in the relationship with God the Father, and in this way in relationship with all his brothers and sisters. Man is not fulfilled in an absolute autonomy, deceiving himself that he is God but, on the contrary, by recognizing himself as a child, an open creature, reaching out to God and to his brethren in whose faces he discovers the image of their common Father.
