Sunday 29th July
2007
Seventeenth Sunday
in Ordinary Time
Reflection -
The Lord's Prayer
The ‘Our
Father’ is the first and greatest of all
Christian prayers. Its short and simple phrases
embrace every relation between us and God. It
not only tells us what to pray for, but also
how to pray for it. However, it tends to be
said so hurriedly that much of its meaning is
lost. This is a pity. Because, properly understood,
the ‘Our Father’ contains a whole
programme for Christian living. If we were to
live up to what it contains, we would be perfectly
in tune with the mind of Christ, because undoubtedly
this is how he himself prayed and lived.
The first part deals with God. We begin by acknowledging
God’s existence, and calling him ‘Father’.
The second part
deals with us and our needs. We begin by praying
for our daily bread. ‘Bread’ stands
for all our material needs. All we really need,
however, is enough for today.
The whole of
the ‘Our Father’ is couched in plural
terms. This shows that we are one family under
God, and that there can be no salvation for
us independent of others.
