REFLECTION ON TODAY’S GOSPEL


OCTOBER 07,2020

GOSPEL LUKE 11: 1-4


1 Now it happened that he was in a certain place praying, and when he had finished, one of his
disciples said, 'Lord, teach us to pray, as John taught his disciples.'
2 He said to them, 'When you pray, this is what to say: Father, may your name be held holy, your
kingdom come;
3 give us each day our daily bread, and forgive us our sins,
4 for we ourselves forgive each one who is in debt to us. And do not put us to the test.'
REFLECTION
In this gospel, the disciples ask of Jesus to teach them how to pray, and Jesus taught them the
Lord’s Prayer. Of all the prayers why that? It is because the Lord’s Prayer is the most ideal and
complete prayer ever made. It consists of praising God, thanking God, asking for forgiveness,
and asking for personal petitions. It is a complete set of everything we need to say to God every
time we go to Him to pray and communicate.
It is everything God expects to hear from us, that is why this is the prayer that Jesus told his
disciples when they opened the question how to pray? Because we cannot call something a
prayer if it is just about petitions, that is just a wish. We cannot call praying asking for
forgiveness that is just confession. Prayer must contain everything we need to say to God.
