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 Written: 10062010/6242018 Poetry Form: Dramatic Monologue Copyright © Jacqueline R.
