ברכנו אבינו
BLESS US, OUR FATHER

We call out “Father”, expressing our recognition that Hashem is both our Creator, the source of all blessing, and the One Who truly loves us (“av”, “father”, like “avah”, “willingness” and “ahav”, “love”). Our awareness that Hashem is our Father is actually the justification for His loving fatherly blessing that He bestows upon us. Thus, we request of Hashem, “Bless us with Your unlimited blessings, for we know and recognize You as אבינו, our loving Father”.
