What type of prayer is the our father




















Christians so easily get offended, hold resentments, grudges, bitterness against others for not measuring up, yet their sin of judgement is far greater as a log is greater than a speck- Matt We too must forgive others or we go to spiritual prison and torment Matt The curse of all our sins comes back on us. In this prayer we start by forgiving past sins, and then go onto the higher level of establishing our hearts, making the quality decision in advance, to walk in love and forgiveness towards everyone.

First, pray to be kept from evil. Jesus said: "Pray that you may not enter into temptation" Luke This prayer makes us alert to evil, helping us avoid it. Amen that settles it.

May God rebuke him, we humbly pray, and do thou, O Prince of the heavenly hosts, by the power of God, thrust into hell Satan, and all the evil spirits, who prowl about the world seeking the ruin of souls.

My God, I am sorry for my sins with all my heart. In choosing to do wrong and failing to do good, I have sinned against you whom I should love above all things. I firmly intend, with your help, to do penance, to sin no more, and to avoid whatever leads me to sin. Our Savior Jesus Christ suffered and died for us. In His name. My God have mercy. He was conceived by the Holy Spirit, and born of the Virgin Mary. He suffered under Pontius Pilate, was crucified, died and was buried.

He descended into hell. On the third day He rose again. He ascended into heaven, and is seated at the right hand of God the Father Almighty. He will come again to judge the living and the dead.

My soul proclaims the greatness of the Lord, my spirit rejoices in God my Savior for he has looked with favor on his lowly servant. From this day all generations will call me blessed: the Almighty has done great things for me, and holy is his Name. He has mercy on those who fear him in every generation.

He has shown the strength of his arm, he has scattered the proud in their conceit. He has cast down the mighty from their thrones, and has lifted up the lowly.

He has filled the hungry with good things, and the rich he has sent away empty. He has come to the help of his servant Israel for he remembered his promise of mercy, the promise he made to our fathers, to Abraham and his children forever.

Optional Closing Prayer Eternal God, in whom mercy is endless and the treasury of compassion--inexhaustible, look kindly upon us and increase Your mercy in us, that in difficult moments we might not despair nor become despondent, but with great confidence submit ourselves to Your holy will, which is Love and Mercy itself.

Lord, have mercy. One of the earliest meditations on the Lord's Prayer was by the bishop and martyr St. He began with a beautiful and profound thought: "The new man, born again and restored to God by his grace, says first of all 'Father' because he has now begun to be a son. Augustine noted seven petitions in St. Matthew's version of the Lord's Prayer, the first three theological for the glory of the Father, which draw us towards him, and the last four present our wants to him and request his grace.

The first series of petitions carry us toward him, for his own sake: thy name, thy kingdom, thy will. It is characteristic of love to think first of the one whom we love. The second series of petitions are an offering up of our hopes. The term "to hallow" means to recognize as holy, to treat in a holy way. Gregory of Nyssa, a Church Father in Cappadocia in Asia Minor, wrote around AD that "of all good things the most important for me is that God's name should be glorified in my life.

The sanctification of God's name in the world and our own salvation depends on our life and prayer. The Kingdom of God is in our midst in the Eucharist. This second petition prays for the growth of the kingdom of God in the "today" of our lives, bearing the fruit of new life in the Eight Beatitudes of Jesus. Of great interest, a rare variant of St. Luke's version in the early Greek manuscripts reads "May the Holy Spirit come upon us and purify us! Gregory of Nyssa continues this concept in his sermon on this phrase: "Therefore the true Physician of the diseases of the soul, who shared the life of man for the sake of those who were sick, gradually weakens the cause of disease through the thoughts contained in the prayer and so restores us to spiritual health.

God's expression of his will is the commandment that "you love one another, even as I have loved you" John This commandment summarizes all the others and expresses his entire will. We ask for God's loving plan to be fully realized on earth as it already is in heaven. Through prayer we can discern what is the will of God and obtain the endurance to do it. May we learn obedience! The original Greek Bible has the Imperative of Entreaty expressed in all of these petitions; in other words, the word please is implied.

The Father who gives us life gives us "our bread," the nourishment life requires, both material and spiritual. Jesus teaches us to pray, "Ask and it will be given to you, seek and you will find, knock and the door will be opened to you" Matthew The Greek word epiousios for "daily" appears only in the Lord's Prayer and literally means "superessential," which refers directly to the Bread of Life, the Body of Christ.

Love is the basis of the kingdom Jesus taught us about. It is a kingdom where the first shall be last and the last shall be first. We also ask God to bring his kingdom here and now so we might reflect it in our own lives. This cultivates our desire to bring a foretaste of heaven to everyone we encounter. We learn to be open to the will of God and build His kingdom on earth through prayer.

It is only after our surrender that we become more ourselves than ever. Only then can we love as God does and allow His kingdom to flourish. Now we enter into the second half of the Our Father, in which we petition God for His help. When God saved the Israelites from slavery, He led them into the desert.

And there, every morning in the desert, God sent them manna — flakes that were made into bread. Everyone could eat their fill each day, but the manna would rot if they tried to store it overnight.

By teaching us to ask for our daily bread, Jesus calls us to find peace in trusting him to provide for us every single day, just as he did the Israelites. God desires us to be fully present, not looking backward in regret or forward in anxiety, but to love and serve where we are here and now. Whoever comes to me will never be hungry, and whoever believes in me will never thirst.

Jesus is the daily bread that we need to feed us, to fill us, and to lead us to eternal life. The first part of this petition is conditional on the second: to be forgiven, we must forgive.
