North Carolina, Raleigh- According to the Gospel account of Saint Luke, Jesus taught his disciples to pray with the Lord's Prayer when they were gathered in the church. St. Peter's Square .
The Gospel Matthew 6:9-13 of the Catholic Bible differs with the origin of the prayer. It mentions that prayer was taught to the disciples in the Sermon on the Mount where Jesus recommended praying privately and simply. This after many Jews had made prayer an external habit.
This is why Jesus of Nazareth offered a powerful prayer and simple to address the Creator.
The Lord's Prayer in English, Italian, Spanish and German is considered the Christian prayer par excellence. According to the catechism of the Catholic Church, the Lord's Prayer is the summary of the entire Gospel. The objective of prayer is that it is not repeated mechanically, but rather that it serves to establish a dialogue with the Father or Creator.
In the Lord's Prayer there are 7 prayers or requests. The first three have as their object the Glory of the Father. This means the sanctification of His Name, the coming of His Kingdom and the fulfillment of His will.
The other 4 prayers or requests that the faithful make through the Lord's Prayer have life as their object. Feed her to cure her of sin; and we also ask for help in our fight for the victory of Good over Evil.
At the end of praying the prayer to the Our Father, “Amen” is said, expressing the desire that what has been requested in the seven petitions be fulfilled: “So be it.”
