Today’s reflection comes from The Gospel in Solentiname by Ernesto Cardenal:

“We pray to God for his name to be holy, and it’s up to us to make his name holy. We pray for his kingdom to come, and it up to us to build it. We pray that his will  be done on earth, and it’s up to us to do his will. We pray to him for bread, and it’s up to us to make it and share it. We pray to him for forgiveness, and it’s up to us to forgive. We pray not to fall into evil and it’s up to us to escape from it. That’s what’s interesting abut this prayer. I think that a lot of people don’t say the Lord’s Prayer, but in their hearts they are asking for all this.”
