Today, St. Matthew presents us with "The Lord's Prayer", (Mt 6:7-15),a simple, direct acknowledgment of who God is and what our dependence on him means...He is the Creator, of heaven and earth, the All-Holy, and reminds us that doing his will above all is why we are here. We then ask for our daily bread, material as well as spiritual, our need to forgive as well as to forgive others, as well as guidance away from evil and temptations. We have recited this prayer from our youth, but annually it comes up in the daily gospel as a reminder that we ought to pray it with more attention, for, indeed, it is simple and complete deliniation of how to pray and for what to pray.
