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
Why do people pray ? As the Lord's Prayer shows we only pray for 3 reasons. Firstly to glorify God. Secondly to ask for all our needs and finally to seek forgiveness. This can only be done if we put our total trust in God as we pray. Do you pray with complete trust in God?
Let us pray
Lord Jesus we praise your mighty and holy name for only you can show is the way and fulfill our everlasting needs.
Amen
