Gospel: Luke 11:1-4
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.”

Reflection:
Do you
often invoke the name of our Holy God? For example somebody is sick in the
family, do you pray over that family member by invoking the very powerful name
God or Jesus? The name of God is very powerful it can cure us of our many
sickness if we would pray it with faith.
When one
of Jesus’ disciples asked Him to teach him how to pray Jesus told the man first
that the name of God is holy. Being holy it’s therefore sacred and powerful and
this we can always call upon whenever we want.
What
should we do so that we can always call upon this holy and powerful God? We
should strive to live holy lives as well and we should strive to know more
about God. The moment we try to live holy lives and the moment we strive to
know more about God through Jesus. We surely could invoke His mighty name anytime.
You
therefore have to run away from anything that would make you sin for this is
the beginning of holiness. You also have to strive to know more about God and
Jesus by reading your bible and by making yourself available for Holy Mass.
Try doing
these two and you will see that you would be able easily call upon the name of
our Holy God anytime most especially during distressful times. - Marino J. Dasmarinas
