Jesus, who calls God, Dad, invites us to repeat his words with him. We are also called to be his children, and to show him with our lives and works, as Jesus did.
Being a son (and being able to call God "Dad") is a great honor and a very serious responsibility. The Church from its origins understood this teaching of Jesus and took great care not to "vanalize" the meaning of the Our Father. This was the prayer of the Christians, of the children, of those who followed Jesus, participating and building the Kingdom. The prayer of those who had converted through Baptism and had opted for the life of God. This reverential treatment, which, far from being solemn, guaranteed that the proclamation and prayer of the Our Father was "taken seriously," left its mark on the formulas of introduction to it, which we still use today in our celebrations of the Eucharist. The priest introduces the Our Father with the words "... and following his divine teachings, we dare to say ...". By teaching the Lord's Prayer, Jesus invites us to participate in his filiation and shows us that God is a Good Father, and that in order to follow him we must become like a child and learn to say Abba.
