Call the Creator of All Father
Lord, teach us to pray …
Luke 11:1
A priest friend told me
All the lectures he typically gives
People seem most attentive
Most interested in his talks on prayer
People want to learn how to pray
Today we celebrate the most famous “giants” of prayer, St. Bruno
With a close band of friends
This holy man left the world
Went into the snowy mountains of France
There lived in silence
Devoting his life to prayer
He described this life as
“Peace that the world knows not and joy in the (Eternal) Holy Spirit”
You and I have similar desire to connect directly with Eternal God
Although we will not likely live the solitude of Bruno call out to (Father Christ) Jesus, “Teach us to pray”
(Father Christ) Jesus responds to our desire with stunning words
He told when we pray to the all-powerful Lord and Creator, we are to call Him “Father”
We are not to address (Eternal) God as a distant
Frightening being but rather
As someone close to us
Who loves us and longs to hear our voice
