Gospel
Luke 11:1-4
How to pray
Once Jesus was in a certain place praying, and when he had finished, one of his disciples said, ‘Lord, teach us to pray, just as John taught his disciples.’
He said to them, ‘Say this when you pray:
‘“Father, may your name be held holy,
your kingdom come;
give us each day our daily bread,
and forgive us our sins,
for we ourselves forgive each one who is in debt to us.
And do not put us to the test.”’
Reflection
The Lord's prayer is a model prayer which we should follow. It has four component. The first component is always begin your prayer by thanking and glorifying the father in heaven. Secondly ask for our daily need. Thirdly seek forgiveness and finally pray that no harm will come to us. Do you begin your prayer by thanking and glorifying God?
Let us pray
Lord Jesus thank you for teaching us how to pray. May we always use this as a model on how to pray.
Amen
