Why does Jesus teach us to call God “Father”? And what does this reveal about our identity, dignity, and relationship with him?

Fr. Chris Martin explains how God is Father both as the source of creation and as the one who adopts us as his beloved sons and daughters. He also addresses why Catholics do not rename God as “Mother,” what Jesus meant when he said to call no man father, and why Catholics call priests “Father.”

Discover how natural and spiritual fatherhood participate in the love of God—and why knowing yourself as a beloved child of the Father can transform your prayer and your entire spiritual life.
