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 In this passage, Jesus doesn’t just teach a formula—He reveals the heart of prayer: intimacy, dependence, mercy, and trust. Calling God “Father” invites us into a relationship not of fear, but of love. The prayer is simple, yet profound: it acknowledges God’s holiness, seeks His reign, asks for daily sustenance, and embraces forgiveness. It’s a rhythm of humility and hope, reminding us that prayer is less about eloquence and more about surrender. ❓Question for Reflection Do I approach God as a distant figure or as a loving ...
