Gospel Reading: Lk 11:1-4
JESUS was praying in a certain place, and when he had finished, one of his disciples said to him, “Lord, teach us to pray just as John taught his disciples.” He said to them, “When you pray, say:
Father, hallowed be your name,
your Kingdom come.
Give us each day our daily bread
and forgive us our sins
for we ourselves forgive everyone in debt to us,
and do not subject us to the final test.”
***
The disciples have been following Jesus wherever he goes. They have heard his preaching and seen his miracles. Now they ask Jesus to teach them how to pray.
