only-begotten Son, teach us, we beseech Thee,
to pray, 'OUR FATHER.' We thank Thee, Lord, for these Living
Blessed Words which Thou hast given us. We thank Thee for the
millions who in them have learnt to know and worship the Father,
and for what they have been to us. Lord! it is as if we needed
days and weeks in Thy school with each separate petition; so deep
and full are they. But we look to Thee to lead us deeper into
their meaning: do it, we pray Thee, for Thy Name's sake; Thy name
is Son of the Father.

Lord! Thou didst once say: 'No man knoweth the Father save the
Son, and he to whom the Son willeth to reveal Him.' And again: 'I
made known unto them Thy name, and will make it known, that the
love wherewith Thou hast loved Me may be in them.' Lord Jesus!
reveal to us the Father. Let His name, His infinite Father-love,
the love with which He loved Thee, according to Thy prayer, BE IN
US. Then shall we say aright, 'OUR FATHER!' Then shall we
apprehend Thy teaching, and the first spontaneous breathing of
our heart will be: 'Our Father, Thy Name, Thy Kingdom, Thy Will.'
And we shall bring our needs and our sins and our temptations to
Him in the confidence that the love of such a Father cares for
all.

Blessed Lord! we are Thy scholars, we trust Thee; do teach us to
pray, 'OUR FATHER.' Amen.
