Maybe you learned it at your mother's knee, the words coming before you understood them. Maybe you have said it ten thousand times without once considering what you were actually asking for. Jesus gave us this prayer because the disciples asked him to teach them how to pray. And the first thing he told them was what not to do. Do not babble like the pagans. Your Father knows what you need before you ask him.If God already knows what we need, why pray at all? Because prayer is not about informing God. Prayer is about transforming us. The Our Father is not a list of requests. It is a reordering of our desires. And that middle petition is the trap. Forgive us as we forgive. Every time you pray it, you are asking God to treat you the way you treat the people who have wronged you.Isaiah provides the foundation. God's word goes out like rain from heaven. It does not return empty. It accomplishes what God purposes. The Our Father is not just words we say. It is God's word shaping us.📖 ReadingsFirst Reading: Isaiah 55:10-11Responsorial: Psalm 34:4-5, 6-7, 16-17, 18-19Gospel: Matthew 6:7-15⏱️ Timeline00:00 Introduction00:15 Reading I - Isaiah 55:10-1100:42 Psalm Response - Psalm 3405:26 Gospel - Matthew 6:7-1506:22 Reflection - Our Father Who Art in Heaven🎧 Prefer to listen on the go?
