About this listen

THE OUR FATHER.
The Our Father is also known as the Lord's Prayer, because it was taught us by Christ Our Lord Himself.
  1. The Our Father takes precedence of all other prayers; it is especially distinguished by its power, its simplicity and its comprehensiveness.
  2. The address places the soul in the right disposition for prayer; it awakens within us confidence in God and raises our thoughts to Him.
  3. In the first petition we pray that God may he glorified.
  4. In the next three petitions we ask for these blessings : Eternal salvation, grace to fulfil the divine will, and the possession of those things which are indispensable to the maintenance of our earthly existence.
  5. In the next three petitions we pray that three trials may he averted from us: The evil of sin, the evil of temptation, and those evils which are prejudicial to life.
  6. The word Amen is the answer of God to the suppliant; in this place it is equivalent to the words: Be assured that thy prayer is heard.
