Eleventh Thursday of Ordinary Time

Our Father who art in heaven, hallowed be thy name, thy Kingdom come, thy will be done, on earth as it is in heaven.

This first line of the Our Father gives us a perfect example of what our relationship with Heavenly Father should be like. We should praise His Holy Name at all times, through our thoughts and words, especially through our prayers to Him. Our every work should have the aim of bringing about the Kingdom of God by doing His Will on earth. We should worship our Father who is the source of our being. We should center our daily lives on doing His Will and strive to reach the summit of the Kingdom. When we do all these things, then we align our hearts, souls, minds, and strengths to God and do all things in accord with his Divine Plan.

How do we praise our Father each day? What do we do to bring about His Kingdom on earth? In what way do we recognize God as the source, center, and summit of our lives?

O Lord, you are our Father, we want only to bring about your kingdom and do your will.

Amen.
