Prayer Prompt before reading MT 6:7-15: Come, Holy Spirit, teach me how to pray, interpret the Scriptures for me so that I may know the Truth about who God the Father is and God the Son so that I may know who I am.
“IN PRAYING, DO NOT BABBLE LIKE THE PAGANS,WHO THINK THAT THEY WILL BE HEARD BECAUSE OF THEIR MANY WORDS.” MT 6:7-15
Humbly submit your will to God (Thy Will be done) and consecrate yourself to the Sacred Heart of Jesus through Mary and Joseph.
St. Augustine said, “Run through all of the words of the holy prayers (in Scripture), and I do not think you find anything that is not contained and included in the Lord’s Prayer.”
Our Father (many of the saints stopped here thanking God for allowing them to call Him Father, Pope Francis says Abba means Dad-Do you allow Him to wrap His arms around you like a loving Father?) who art in heaven,
hallowed be thy name:
Dear God, I bring myself into your presence humbly as a sinner who needs your mercy to worship, adore, glorify, praise, and thank you. Thank you for allowing me to call you Daddy and thank you for calling me son/daughter.
thy Kingdom come, thy will be done, on earth as it is in heaven:
I submit my will to you, please give me the courage, strength, and grace to follow it. I completely surrender and trust in you.
Give us this day our daily bread:
Thank you for taking care of our every need, I trust in you. Please help me recognize the needs of others and help them. Thank you for the everlasting sustaining Bread that is your Son, Our Lord Jesus Christ.
and forgive us our trespasses, as we forgive those who trespass against us:
please send me your grace to forgive so I may forgive like You, help me not to judge incorrectly or label, have mercy on my soul.
and lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil (protect us from the Devil).
Today’s challenge: Make sure the Our Father is the first words on our lips each morning so we have the right perspective going into each day. Enter God’s heart by humbling yourself before Him, empty yourself so that He can fill you up to be an instrument of love, thank Him for sustaining you each day and providing us with His life (grace) by faithfully receiving the sacraments, ask for the grace to forgive, for mercy, and protection from Satan.
Be a servant, be a saint today!
