Abba! Father! We dare to call you "Father," creatures though we are, because you have adopted us through Jesus, your Son, as your sons and daughters. Help us, we pray, to conform more and more to the image of your Son, so that we may more truly be what we became in Baptism. Through our Lord Jesus Christ, your Son, who lives and reigns with you in the unity of the Holy Spirit, one God, for ever and ever. Amen.
