How do we pray? Why do we pray? Pastor Nathan Potter continues our Good News for All series with a sermon from Luke 11:1-13 looking at the “Lord's Prayer.”

Proper 12 (17) Seventh Sunday after Pentecost (Year C, 2021-2022)Scripture Readings: Genesis 18:20-32, Psalm 138, Colossians 2:6-15, (16-19), Luke 11:1-13
You may be in that place today. You may be in a dark place. You are struggling to make it. You are depressed and discouraged. And, your time with God is inconsistent at best or maybe even non-existent. You stay worried. Hopeless. Confused. Anxious. Or, you may be in a good place today. Your heart is close to God and your walk with Christ is good. My prayer today is that you would guard your heart. That you would continue to chase after Christ with all that you have. The primary purpose of prayer is not to get something but to be with someone. Support the show (https://tithe.ly/give_new/www/#/tithely/give-one-time/92323)
Together, these readings at the Holy Mass this Sunday point the whole matter of the liturgy itself. That is, His justice, which has been most wonderfully given to us in, with, and through the Holy Eucharist.

There is either a mistaken idea that the homily during the liturgy is not part of the proper role of the ordained Priest or Deacon, or there is a plot at work to continue the deconstruction of the liturgy. It could very well be both. I explain all of that in this episode of 'Talking Catholic'. The post Why the Non-Ordained Cannot Give the Homily first appeared on DavidLGray.INFO.

It is no surprise that the disciples wanted to learn how to pray like Jesus. When Jesus prayed, things happened: people were healed; demons fled; and God acted. Our text this week does not inspire us to ask, "how should we pray" as much as "why should we pray?" As we will see, if we learn "why" we should pray, the question of "how" fades in importance. Come and continue our journey into prayer.
