MORE ABOUT PRAYER

When we pray we should say “Our Father” because we are God’s children now, what we shall later be has yet to be revealed. We know that when it is revealed we shall be like Him, for we shall see Him as He is. We say, “Who art in Heaven,” knowing that there are many mansions in Our Father’s house and that the eye has not seen, nor the ear heard what God has prepared for those who love Him. The Almighty has done great things for us and we say, “Holy is His name.” When we pray, “Thy kingdom come”, we rightly pray for the coming of the kingdom within ourselves, within that private room while we wait for Christ to come again in Glory when all eyes will see Him as He is. Jesus, we love you, possess us.

We know too that when we pray, “Thy will be done on earth as it is in Heaven”, we are praying that You will make us Holy. Do in us what You will, do through us what You will, do with us what You will, and Lord gives us all the graces that we need to live a holy life. Lord, in your presence this day, free us from all anxiety about tomorrow. Surely each day has enough troubles of its own. Let not past things rob us of our hope of salvation. Lord, remove all un-forgiveness from our hearts as we cry to You unceasingly, “Forgive us our sins.” Give us your grace to resist all temptation and deliver us from the evil one who roams the earth and patrols it seeking the ruin of souls. Amen.

The Church is able to offer me the prayer of Christ and to welcome me into a living environment, a community, where this prayer can originate and grow. Thus, it is no more a matter of choice for a “member” to live attached to his organism or to separate himself from it than it is for a Christian to do without his community. A man is Christian only if he is a member of Christ, and he is a member of Christ only if he receives within himself the life that comes through communion in faith and the prayer of his brothers.

Father Bernard Bro, o.p.

Father Bro († 2018) was a French Dominican friar, a distinguished theologian, and the author of many books.
