Short article on the "Yes book" on prayer. #4

“Jesus said: This, then, is how you should pray”

“Our Father who art in Heaven”

 

We have something that is “Ours.” To believe what we have in God is the foundation of our prayers. Our father in heaven has a mansion that the heavens of the heavens cannot contain. On the other hand, our Planet is one of the smallest dust of the universe and the God who created this Universe is “Our Father”

 

During the recess on the playground of this world, we can and we should say, proudly and confidently, to anyone who is not in our family: “Our Father is bigger than you father,” “Our Father can beat you father,” “Our father is richer than your father,” and “No one is greater than our Father in Heaven”

 

Our Father is in heaven yet he loves to dwell in a small house that is our heart. Our body is a house where the infinite and eternal God has made His home. 

 

As in the words of David: “One thing Jesus has spoken, but two things have I heard.”

Jesus is teaching us to address God as our Father but as a teacher and master he lets us have the joy of self-discovery. In those words are hidden the fact that “We are his children on Earth” and that is what we are to God; children of God, thanks to Jesus. 

 

Therefore, this then, is how we should pray:

“Our Father who art in Heaven”
