Human beings, created in the image of God, become disfigured by sin. Jesus made 'the purification' for our sins to transform us back into our real Figure and to bring us into the Father's Holy Presence. Immortal God urges us, mortals, to call HIM 'Father!' animating our innermost being. Before we say 'Our Father', we must humbly cleanse our hearts in the grace offered by Jesus. To pray to the Father is to enter into HIS mystery as HE is. When we pray to the Father, we are in communion with HIM and with HIS Son, Jesus Christ. The free gift of adoption requires 'our continual transformation'.(Ref. CCC 2777,2779,2781,2784)
Prayer :
Most Loving Abba, each time I call you "Father", I am reminded to behave as your child through transformation into my real Figure. . I desire to contemplate the beauty of YOU, my Father, without ceasing and adorn my soul accordingly. At the calling of your Holy Name, LOVE is aroused in me..and the confidence of receiving what I ask in the most perfect prayer.
