Don't Babble

In his usual direct wau, Jesus gave his disciples (including us) a simple prayer that keeps us from babbling on and on and encomapses all we need to say to our Father.  We acknowledge him as God, bless him and pray that his will become our will.  We ask for our daily sustenance, physical and spiritual, the gift to be able to forgive as we have been forgiven and the grace to avoid temptaion. Yes, succintly and efficiently stated, the OUR FATHER is the beloved prayer that over the centuries has been prayed by saint and sinner. Instead of rattling it off by rote while thinking of other things, may we pay attention to what we are saying so that it actually affects our hearts and our behavior.
