‘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.’
“If you forgive others their transgressions, your
heavenly Father will forgive you. But if you do not forgive others, neither
will your Father forgive your transgressions.”

Reflection:
How do you
pray?
Do you pray with a set of structured prayer such as the Our Father, Hail Mary,
Glory be and many other Catholic prayers? Nothing is wrong with these prayers
for it brings you closer to God. What is important is, when you pray you dive
inside your prayer this means that your whole being is in communion with your
prayer.
There is no wrong either with your
spontaneous/personal prayers for these are prayers that originate deep in your
heart. Your whole being should always be with your prayers and by doing so you
establish your connection with God.
So you know how to pray and that is very good! But think
about the many others who do not know ho w to pray (There are many of
them). Perhaps you can make it your mission to teach them how to pray and in
the process you bring them closer to Jesus.
You become productive follower of Jesus when you pay
forward whatever you know about Jesus most especially this prayer that HE
taught the disciples and you too to pray.
Have you already shared the Our Father prayer? –
