Lord, teach us to pray

“‘Lord, teach us to pray just as John taught his disciples.’ He said to them, ‘When you pray, say: Father, hallowed be your name, your Kingdom come…’” (LK 11: 2) 

This is the most beautiful prayer because it was received from Our Lord, Who was praying this way. When we pray saying “Our Father,” we are placing ourselves close to Him and even next to Him, and we are never alone. This prayer always makes us united with Him like when we say: “Through Him, and with Him, and in Him, O God, Almighty Father, in the unity of the Holy Spirit, all glory and honor is yours, forever and ever. Amen.”
