PRAYER PAUSE

HALLOWED
BE YOUR NAME
Enter
into the stillness of God within.
Reading ”Our Father, you who are in
heaven, hallowed be your name, your kingdom come.” (Luke 11:3-4)
Reflection. When Jesus was giving us the
Our Father why did he not say, “Our Father, who are in heaven teach us to know
you and love you in all things.” Maybe
it was because love is shown in action and he went straight to this: may your reign
come. This can only come about through love and forgiveness and so this concise
Christian prayer simply consists of praise, prayer for the coming of the
kingdom, strength and courage to bring this about and fogiveness of one another
along the way. That is enough. None of this can be achieved without love and
the striving to achieve it is an expression of our love.
Prayer. Lord, grant us the courage and
imagination to bring about your reign. Amen.
