Aba, Father

Father, you have honored me

and caused me to share that precious

title that you only deserve: Father

You have blessed me

with sons and daughters

and they call me father

a title rightly yours'

for you alone, O Lord, are the father

of us all

You provide for all our needs

By you we have our being

You defended us when the world

was against us

You instructed us, giving us

not only wisdom

but your very soul

and through you we have

received the remission of all sins

For you loved us with a never

ending love- the love of a true Father

so you redeemed us

Lord, cause me to follow your example

that I may encourage, comfort, and direct

the children you have given me

A prayer of Zarach
