The certainty of prayer...
While still on his journey to Jerusalem, Jesus offers his disciple a model of prayer. God is addressed in the same personal, trusting way that a child has, with utter confidence in its parent. In traditional Jewish manner, the prayer begins with the sanctification of God’s holy name and the longing that God’s reign would soon break into this world. The disciple is then taught to pray for a sustenance that only God can provide; that each day we may receive what we truly need for our journey. The disciple knows the reality of sin even within the Christian community. Sin is not to be a cause of despair or a permanent barrier. Sin is the condition from which we know our need of God as we ask constantly for forgiveness and are ready constantly to forgive. Finally, the disciple prays that in the times of trial, as we await the final arrival of God’s reign of peace and justice, we will endure with the help of God.
This prayer has its basis in the Jewish prayer of Jesus’ time. Sanctifying the name of God means recognising God as creator and observing God’s commandments. Jesus’ prayer resonates with the following examples of Jewish Synagogue prayer:
‘May God’s great Name be magnified and sanctified in the ages, which he has created. May God usher in the reign of his kingdom and bring about redemption… May the name of the holy One be blessed, celebrated, glorified, exalted, praised, chanted, and raised on high.’ (From the Qaddish)
Another part of the Jewish daily prayer from that time had a series of blessings: ‘You are holy and your Name is steadfast. There is no other god beside you. Grant us, our Father, knowledge of you, the understanding, and discernment of your Law. Forgive us, our Father, for we have sinned against you. Wipe away and take away our sins from your eyes for your mercy is great. Bless for us, Lord our God, this year with abundance, and bring about the final year of our redemption. Shower dew and rain upon the face of the earth. Fill the world with the gifts of your kindness and bless the work of our hands.’ (From the Amidah).
One Jewish prayer was originally composed in Aramaic, the usual language of Jews living in Palestine in the first century – the language of Jesus.
‘Blessed be His great Name from age to age … In the world He created by His will. … May God establish his Kingdom … During your life and during your days… ’
The prayer we know as ‘The Our Father’ draws upon such prayers and concepts from 1st century Judaism.
The parable that follows offers the certainty that God will respond to prayer, as surely as a friend will get up and provide bread when a traveller comes to the village. The translation of this parable does not carry the true sense of the Greek. The friend will get up from a sense of shame (not persistence) lest his friend and his village be unable to provide hospitality, which is such a major value in a Middle-Eastern culture. Similarly, God would be utterly ‘shamed’ if God did not respond graciously to our needs. In this teaching, Jesus reveals that the essence of prayer lies in our relationship with God. Our utter neediness makes an irrefusable claim on God. What hinders prayer is a forgetfulness that God is our creator and that all we are, and all we have is gift. In prayer, we acknowledge who we are and who God is for us, and such habits of prayer are the basis for a constant sense of being in relationship with God.

ENTRANCE PROCESSION: God of Day Text: & Music: Marty Haugen © 1985 GIA Publications.
1. God of day and God of darkness, now we stand before the night; As the shadows stretch and deepen, come and make our darkness bright. All creation still is groaning, for the dawning of your might, When the Sun of peace and justice, fills the earth with radiant light.
2. Still the nations curse the darkness, still the rich oppress the poor; Still the earth is bruised and broken, by the ones who still want more. Come and wake us from our sleeping, so our hearts cannot ignore, All your people lost and broken, all your children at our door.
3. Show us Christ in one another, make us servants strong and true; Give us all your love of justice, so we do what you would do. Let us call all people holy, let us pledge our lives anew. Make us one with all the lowly, let us all be one in you.
