Ecclesiasticus 48:1-14; Psalm 97: 1-7; Matthew 6:7-15

Our Father

Have you ever gazed into the night sky when it is clear and starry all across the horizon? Not only the immensity of the universe but also its beauty is overwhelming. We can feel so small and lost and yet also feel at home. An infinitesimal part but not insignificant. Isn’t this nothing else but the beginning of the smallest whisper telling us that what Jesus shared with us is true? In his own personal prayer to his Father, gifted to us as sign and promise, he has revealed the secret of our existence in this extraordinarily vast world.
