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 call upon the name of God? For example somebody is sick in
the family, do you pray over that family member by invoking the very powerful
name 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 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 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.
