[Grem] *****SPAM(7.2)***** Gospel meditation

[Emoke Greschik]

 Friends, our Gospel today gives us an opportunity to reflect on* the
Lord’s Prayer,* the prayer for the Christian journey. I want to consider
three of the prayer’s petitions.

*“Father, hallowed be your name.” *We’re not implying that God should make
his name holy (as though it isn’t);* we’re praying that we might make it
holy for us, that God might be honored above all. *Everything else in the
spiritual life flows from this prioritization.

*“Your Kingdom come.”* God’s kingdom refers to God’s way of ordering things.*
Jesus’ teaching and his manner of life give us a very good idea of what
this kingdom would look like*: *peace, nonviolence, forgiveness, healing,
walking the path of compassion. *

*“Forgive us our sins for we ourselves forgive everyone in debt to us.” How
central to the teaching of Jesus is forgiveness. And **how central to the
suffering of the world is the incapacity** to forgive, both on the
smallest, most intimate level and on the grandest scale. *

How wonderful and how deeply challenging that at the very heart of the
prayer that the Son of God taught us is a petition to be given the grace to
forgive.
