[Grem] Gospel meditation

[Emoke Greschik]

 Friends, today’s Gospel is *Matthew’s version of the Lord’s Prayer*. I
want to reflect on the first verses. How wonderful that, in Luke’s version,
it comes directly from the prayer of Jesus himself. It is as though the
prayer that he teaches them sums up the content of his own prayer.
*We call God “Father” when we pray. We call him Abba, Daddy. The same
intimacy that Jesus has with his Abba he invites us to share*. We don’t
just imitate his prayer, the way we would imitate the prayer of any
spiritual teacher; rather, *we enter into the dynamics of his own being
when we pray.*
*“Hallowed be thy name.” May your name be held holy. The first thing we ask
is that we might honor him, that we might make him first in our lives, that
he might be set apart from everything else. Job, family, money, success,
the esteem of others, our friends—all of it is good*, *but none of it is to
be held holy in this sense.*

*If we get this wrong, we get everything else wrong. If we don’t hold his
name holy above all, everything becomes profane. *

*Imádkozzál érettünk, Istennek szent Anyja!  Hogy méltók lehessünk Krisztus
ígéreteire!  Könyörögjünk! Kérünk téged, Úristen, öntsd lelkünkbe szent
kegyelmedet, hogy akik az angyali üzenet által szent Fiadnak, Jézus
Krisztusnak megtestesülését megismertük, az ő kínszenvedése és keresztje
által a föltámadás dicsőségébe vitessünk! Krisztus, a mi Urunk által. Ámen.*
