The Greatest Prayer

When Jesus tells us that we must call God Abba, and live as his children, he is demanding of us this decentralization and `ek-stasy', this standing-out-of-self, in order to transfer our existence, our meaning, our importance, our weight, to the Father. It is a summons to the most radical self-denial.
