In the Old Testament God is revealing his will for a whole community. The Israelites were saved from Egypt, educated and chastised in the desert and entered the Promised Land as the one nation which was to reveal that IAMIAM is the only God by his achievements through them.
That is a very brief summary of the centuries that had passed before the Incarnation and the direct face to face teaching of Jesus to his Apostles, disciples and to all who had ears to listen.
Jesus still speaks to the multitudes, now millions, as individuals. He tells the paralytic to take up his bed and walk. He tells Peter that he will have the responsibility to bear the weight of what he has witnessed during the past three years.
He tells each one of us that we need not be afraid even though we are sinners for he is always ready to forgive and welcome us back with open arms.
The father who welcomes back the prodigal is "Our Father" and so we pray as taught by Jesus to him who is
Our Father not confined by time or space.
FATHERSONHOLYSPIRIT, is a totally perfect three-in-one glory beyond our wildest imaginings.
We know that we are to see him "all-in-all" and for this kingdom we long..
We are free individuals and can thus choose to obey his will and come closer to His perfect holiness. We can also refuse.
We ask to be supported in this life on Earth to enable us to aim to be the image and likeness of His being in our personal lives, our souls.
We acknowledge our sinfulness and pray for a share in the Mercy of Calvary.
We ask to be able to discern and avoid the temptations of materialism and thus be safe from the evil of this world's addiction to Mammon
