How Do We Pray?

Today's gospel presents us with the Lord's prayer, as recorded in Matthew (6: 9-13), 5 simple, yet power-pact verses. We have prayed it since childhood, and as adults need to "hit the brakes' because we can speed though it so fast, that we don't even realize we are saying it.  Not what Jesus intended, since he instructed them not to babble as did the pagans, but to be conscious of the precise words they were saying. When we see Paul's passion for the Corinthians (2 Cor 11:1-11), we get an idea of how we could pray these familiar words, with deep love, conviction and purpose.  Try for once to pray as if you were Paul.
