You can find out a great deal about the background of this question on the internet.

Basically, it goes back to the New Testament traditions of Peter, Paul and John, all of whom addressed

the people to whom they wrote as their “children.” It denotes spiritual fatherhood.

Why do we call priests “Father”?

Gertrude told Helen. Helen called Archie, who called Eileen and Ed. Ed told Violet. Violet passed on the word to Clara and Keith. And so it went. No, they weren’t sharing the latest gossip. They were the prayer chain, passing on the latest addition to their list of prayer intentions. It was time to begin praying for the Spirit to bring many people to the upcoming parish mission, and to move their hearts.

In the Gospel and first reading for this Easter weekend we hear about people devoting time to prayer for the mission of the church. Jesus, in the upper room, begins the chain of prayer by praying for his disciples’ success in carrying on his

mission on earth. After Jesus’ ascension into heaven Luke depicts the disciples gathering again for prayer. Before they can go forth in mission they need wisdom, fortitude, knowledge, and the many other gifts of the Holy Spirit. It is through prayer that they will receive those gifts. And once they have begun their mission, our second reading reminds us that they will encounter suffering, doubts, and persecution. Again, prayer will be necessary in order to persevere for the glory of God. If we are to participate in this mission, we dare not break the chain of prayer that began with Jesus.
