Notes on Prophecy of Isaias (Author Bishop Richard Challoner (ed.))
63:16 Abraham hath not known us, etc: That is, Abraham will not now acknowledge us for his children, by reason of our degeneracy; but thou, O Lord, art our true father and our redeemer, and no other can be called our parent in comparison with thee.
