Lectio: Lk 11.1-4

“He [Jesus] said to them, ‘When you pray, say:

‘Father, hallowed be your name, your kingdom come.’ Lk 11.2

“O God, You are so majestic that we would not approach You except for the fact Your Son taught us how to do so.

I remember Jesus taught us to pray the ‘Our Father.’

Grant that I may never hesitate to approach You with this beautiful prayer.

I ask this of You who lives and reigns with Jesus and the Holy Spirit, one God, forever. Amen.

Operatio: Reflect on “the Our Father” - a prayer of praise to the Father; a prayer for our needs, a prayer to live rightly by forgiving others. Resolve to not only say the “Our Father” but to live its meaning for this is how we best give praise to the Father and how best to attain life for ourselves.

Tomorrow’s readings: Lk 11.5-13
