Wednesday of the Twenty-seventh Week in Ordinary Time
Gospel text Lk 11:1-4
Jesus was praying in a certain place, and when he had finished, one of his disciples said to him, "Lord, teach us to pray just as John taught his disciples."
Gospel's Commentary
Today, in this conversation, we discover the right attitude of man before God: teach us to pray! Nothing is more beneficial than asking God for help and praying. The result is that the human person is “catapulted” toward divine heights. Indeed, Jesus’ answer is the “Our Father”: “Father, hallowed be Your name, Your Kingdom come, give us each day our daily bread, and forgive us our sins…”
—Jesus leads us to the Father, if we allow Him to lead us.
