The gospel reading for the day is a selection in which the “Our Father” is first given to us. Often, when praying, we forget what the words really mean and simply just say these words. During the season of Lent, let us all try to concentrate on what we are really saying in not only the Our Father, but also in the rest of our prayers. Let us see the beauty of the words and the beauty of the message behind them.
Furthermore, we can use Lent as a time to try and carry out the message in our lives. Forgive others and love them. This is one of the best things we can do. Perhaps during Lent we can let the little things go and keep ourselves from getting angry. If we can take the small steps to forgive others more often, concentrate on our prayers and the sacrifice we are making we can grow happier and closer to God this Lent.
-Peter A. ‘14
