The Lord's Prayer...

Discussions of reforming our criminal justice system demand us to ask philosophical and moral questions. What should be the ultimate goal of sentencing and incarceration? Is it punishment? Rehabilitation? Forgiveness? For Catholics, these questions tie directly to the heart of our faith. Solutions are already beginning to take shape, which include unraveling the War on Drugs, reconsidering mandatory minimum sentencing, and embracing a growing private prison abolition movement that urges us to reconsider the levels at which the United States pursues mass incarceration. No matter where these proposals take us, we should pursue such conversations with an openness to change and an aim to rehabilitate our brothers and sisters wherever possible and wherever necessary. By nature, a society that forgives and rehabilitates its people is a society that forgives and transforms itself. That takes a radical kind of love, a secret of which is given in the Lord's Prayer: Forgive us our trespasses, as we forgive those who trespass against us. And let us not forget the guiding principle of "the least among us" found in Matthew: that we are compelled to care for the hungry, thirsty, homeless, naked, sick, and, yes — the imprisoned.

Thoughts on Today's Verse We approach the Lord as the holy and almighty God to be worshiped in reverence and our Abba Father, whom we approach as loving children. Rather than needing long, ornate, and lofty prayers, God wants us to speak with him about the most basic everyday issues and needs of our lives, trusting that he hears us and responds to our spiritual and physical requests by doing what we need while aligning us to his will and blessing us with his grace.

The Thoughts on Today's Verse are written by Phil Ware.

As a young Christian, I am wondering if any of you have advice on positions in ministry for women, or any advise for how to get into ministry?.

The Lord's Prayer...translated from Aramaic directly into English.

Rather than from Aramaic to Greek to Latin to English (which most of us are used to from the King James version:

O cosmic Birther of all radiance and vibration,

soften the ground of our being and carve out a space within us where your Presence can abide.

Fill us with your creativity so that we may be empowered to bear the fruit of your mission.

Let each of our actions bear fruit in accordance with our desire.

Endow us with the wisdom to produce and share what each being needs to grow and flourish.

Untie the tangled threads of destiny that bind us, as we release others from the entanglement of past mistakes.

Do not let us be seduced by that which would divert us from our true purpose, but illuminate the opportunities of the present moment.

For you are the ground and the fruitful vision, the birth, power, and fulfillment, as all is gathered and made whole once again.

And So It Is!

[Samuel Delany]

The Lord's prayer in Aramaic by Jim Caviezel

[apenitentialprayer]

Our translation is thus correct to say: "Deliver us from evil," with evil in the singular. Evils (plural) can be necessary for our purification, but evil (singular) destroys. [... Similarly, t]his is why we pray that, in our concern for goods, we may not lose the Good itself; that even faced with the loss of goods, we may not also lose the Good, which is God [.]

The lord's prayer in French.

La prière du seigneur

Notre père, qui est aux cieux Que ton nom soit sanctifié Que ton règne vienne , Que ta volonté soit faite , Sur la terre comme au ciel. Donne nous aujourd'hui , Notre pain de ce jour . Et pardonne-nous nos offenses, Comme nous pardonnons ceux qui nous ont offensés . Ne nous soumets pas à la tentation, Mais délivre nous du mal. Pour des siècles et des siècles , Amen.
