Our Father - 2

The words are “Our Father”
praying to God, claiming the divine
our Father, as Christ is our brother
co-heirs of his inheritance
to be welcomed home
into the room, the mansions
set aside for us, for us, his children
beloved, as is the Son
Our Father, close, intimate
familial connection
Like the father in the story,
the Prodigal Son
All of us welcomed, watched
cared for, loved
by Our Father
