Reflection:

Gospel:
              (Matthew 6:7-17)

Reflection:
            In this season of lent we will practice prayer, fasting and almsgiving in-order to nurture our spiritual life. In our gospel today it talks about the value of prayer. Prayer is to communicate with Lord. Indeed through prayer it helps us know more about Jesus and most of all it builds good relationship between God. In fact Jesus taught us how to pray indeed he introduce to us the Lord`s prayer commonly known as Our Father. Jesus himself made this prayer for all of us.
            In the lord`s prayer there are four elements that Jesus emphasize and they are called ACTS. Adoration, Contrition, Thanksgiving and Supplication as we pray the father we adore God as we say “Our father who art in heaven hollow be thy name thy kingdom come your will be done on earth as it is in Heaven”. We thank him for all the blessings that he gave it to us every day for the food that we eat, good health etc. Contrition as we ask God`s forgiveness of our sins that we have done against him and to our neighbour. Lastly supplication we ask God for guidance, safety as we travel every day and most of all security as we say “Lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil.
            Jesus invites us today to pray to be one in him to our prayers, let pray together the prayer that Jesus himself taught us. “Our father who art in heaven hallow be thy name thy kingdom come thy will be done on earth as it in heaven give us this day our daily bread and forgive us our trespasses as we forgive those who trespass against us and lead us not into temptation but deliver us from evil Amen.”
