“Jesus was praying in a certain place, and when he had finished, one of his disciples said to him, "Lord, teach us to pray just as John taught his disciples." He said to them, "When you pray, say: Father, hallowed be your name, your Kingdom come. Give us each day our daily bread and forgive us our sins for we ourselves forgive everyone in debt to us, and do not subject us to the final test." -Luke 11:1-4

Saint Teresa of Avila recommended that when we say the Lord’s Prayer, we should slow down, and listen to each word. Ponder the meaning and depth of exactly what we are saying. Today, pray with me, slowly, and contemplate the prayer given to us by Jesus

Our Father, Who art in heaven, hallowed be Thy name; Thy kingdom come; Thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven. Give us this day our daily bread; and forgive us our trespasses as we forgive those who trespass against us; and lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil.

Pope Saint John XXIII, pray for us.
