Forgive us our trespasses. Our Gospel for Feb 19, 2013
February 19, 2013 by bible sharing online
The Lord’s Prayer
Matthew 6:7-15
Jesus said to his disciples:
“In praying, do not babble like the pagans,
who think that they will be heard because of their many words.
Do not be like them.
Your Father knows what you need before you ask him.
“This is how you are to pray:
‘Our Father who art in heaven,
hallowed be thy name,
thy Kingdom come,
thy will be done,
on earth as it is 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.’
“If you forgive others their transgressions,
your heavenly Father will forgive you.
But if you do not forgive others,
neither will your Father forgive your transgressions.”
Panalangin ng Panginoon.
Mateo 6:7-15
Ngunit kapag ikaw ay mananalangin, huwag mong gamitin ang mga walang kabuluhang paulit-ulit na mga panalangin gaya ng ginagawa ng mga Gentil. Ito ay sapagkat nananalangin sila nang paulit-ulit dahil sa kanilang palagay ay diringgin sila sa dami ng kanilang salita. Huwag ninyo silang tularan sapagkat alam na ng inyong Ama ang mga bagay na inyong kinakailangan bago pa man kayo humingi sa kaniya.
Manalangin kayo sa ganitong paraan:
Ama namin na nasa langit, pakabanalin ang pangalan mo.
Dumating nawa ang paghahari mo. Mangyari nawa ang
kalooban mo dito sa lupa gaya ng sa langit. Ibigay mo
sa amin ngayon ang aming kakanin sa araw-araw.
Patawarin mo kami sa aming pagkakautang, gaya
naman ng pagpapatawad namin sa mga nagkakautang
sa amin. Huwag mo kaming dalhin sa tukso, sa halip
iligtas mo kami sa masama, sapagkat iyo ang paghahari,
ang kapangyarihan, at ang kaluwalhatian magpakailanman.
Siya nawa.
Ito ay sapagkat kung patawarin ninyo ang mga tao sa kanilang pagsalangsang, patatawarin din kayo ng inyong Ama na nasa langit. Ngunit kung hindi ninyo patawarin ang mga tao sa kanilang mga pagsalangsang, hindi rin kayo patatawarin ng inyong Ama sa inyong pagsalangsang.

Do you pray with joy and confidence? The Jews were noted for their devotion to prayer. Formal prayer was prescribed for three set times a day. And the rabbis had a prayer for every occasion. Jesus warns his disciples against formalism, making prayer something mechanical and devoid of meaning, with little thought for God. When Jesus taught his disciples to pray he gave them the disciple’s prayer, what we call the Our Father or Lord’s Prayer. This prayer dares to call God “our Father” and boldly asks for the things we need to live as his sons and daughters.
It is through the gift of the Holy Spirit that we can know God personally and call him “Abba, Father” (Romans 8:15). We can approach God our Father with confidence and boldness because Jesus Christ has opened the way to heaven for us through his death and resurrection. When we ask God for help, he fortunately does not give us what we deserve. Instead, he responds with grace and favor and mercy. It is his nature to love generously and to forgive mercifully. When he gives he gives more than we need so we will have something to share with others in their need as well.
God is kind and forgiving towards us and he expects us to treat our neighbor the same. Do you treat others as they deserve, or do you treat them as the Lord would treat you with his grace and favor and mercy? Jesus’ prayer includes an injunction that we must ask God to forgive us in proportion as we forgive those who have wronged us. Ask the Lord to free your heart of any anger, bitterness, resentment, selfishness, indifference, or coldness towards others. Let the Holy Spirit fill you with the fire of his burning love and compassion and with the river of his overflowing mercy and kindness.
“Father in heaven, you have given me a mind to know you, a will to serve you, and a heart to love you. Give me today the grace and strength to embrace your holy will and fill my heart with your love that all my intentions and actions may be pleasing to you. Give me the grace to be charitable in thought, kind in deed, and loving in speech towards all.”
