Ephesians 3:14
Douay-Rheims
For this cause I bow my knees to the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ,
Tertullian
Why not? He had found the son whom he had lost; he had felt him to be all the dearer of whom he had made a gain. Who is that father to be understood by us to be? God, surely: no one is so truly a Father; no one so rich in paternal love.
