The Lord's Prayer For Everyone

The Lord's Prayer [Our Father...] is the title history has given to the prayer of Jesus, the one he taught his friends when they asked for his guidance about how to pray.

Like the boat that carries my life, like the shelter of a mother's arms or the protection of a father's smile, The Lord's Prayer is a universe of care, a carrier through waves and wind, sun and storm. Teaching interdependence, my need of others; helping me see that I am not in my world but ours.

The Lord's Prayer is not for anyone. It is for everyone.
