“Christians dare address God, however others may do it, only because Jesus permits us to join his prayer, appropriating his unique filial term of address and relying on his fellowship in the prayer. We pray to “our Father.” We pray with the one who, by uniquely addressing God as “my Father,” makes himself the Son, and us as his adoptive siblings children, of his Father. Just so, we enter in to the living personal community between them, that is, we pray to the Father, with the Son, in the Spirit.”
