Jesus said to his disciples: “This is how you are to pray: Our Father in heaven, hallowed be your name, your kingdom come, your will be done, on earth as in heaven. Give us today our daily bread; and forgive us our debts as we forgive our debtors; and do not subject us to the final test, but deliver us from the evil one. (Mt 6:9-13)
The most radical two words in the prayer that Jesus gave us are the first two: Our Father. When we pray Our Father, who is not included in the “Our?” It’s a statement about our relationship with God, but even more, it’s a radical statement about our relationship with one another.
