2 Fr. Joseph s Corner... The Lord s Prayer Explained (Part Two) Give us this day our daily bread : In this petition bread means not merely bread but everything we need for our daily lives, such as food, clothing, light, heat, air, and the like. It also means food for the soul; i.e., grace. We say daily, to teach us not to be greedy or too careful about ourselves and not to ask for unnecessary things but to pray for what we need for our present wants. And forgive us our trespasses as we forgive those who trespass against us : Our trespasses here means our sins our offenses against God. When we trespass, we enter places we should not or where we are forbidden to go. So when we sin, we go where we should not go, which is out of the path of virtue that leads to God and into the way of vice that leads to the Devil. As we forgive them : We take this to mean that we forgive others who have offended us and, for that reason: God, You should forgive us who have offended You. Our Lord told a beautiful parable; i.e., a story, by way of illustration, to explain this (Matt. 18:23): A very rich man had a servant who owed him a large sum of money. One day the master asked the servant for the money, and the poor servant had none to give. Now, the law of the country was such that when anyone could not pay his debts, all that he had could be sold and the money given to the one to whom it was due, and if that was not sufficient, he and his wife and his children could be sold as slaves. The servant, knowing this, fell on his knees and begged his master to be patient with him and to give him time, and he would pay it all. So his master was moved to pity and granted not only what he asked but freed him from the debt altogether. Afterward, when this servant who had just been forgiven the large debt was going out, he found one of his fellow servants who owed him a very small sum of money. He took hold of him by the throat and demanded payment. Now, this poor servant, having nothing to give just then, implored his assailant to be patient with him, and he would pay all. But the hard-hearted servant although he himself had a little while ago asked and obtained the very same favor from his own master would not listen to the request or wait longer. He had his fellow servant cast into prison until he paid the debt. The other servants, seeing how unforgiving this man was who had himself been forgiven, went and told all of this to their master. The master, being angry at such conduct, had the unforgiving servant brought back and cast into prison. And lead us not into temptation : Temptation means a trial to see whether we will do a thing or not. Here, it means a trial made by some person or thing the Devil, the world, or our own flesh to see whether we will sin or not. God does not exactly lead us into temptation, but He allows us to fall into it. He allows others to tempt us. We can overcome any temptation to sin by the help of grace that God gives us. Therefore, we ask in this petition that God will always give us the grace to overcome temptation and that we may not consent to it. A temptation is not a sin. It becomes a sin only when we are overcome by it. When we are tempted, we are like soldiers fighting a battle: if the soldiers are conquered by their enemy, they are disgraced; but if they conquer their enemy, they have great glory and great rewards. So, when we overcome temptations, God gives us a new glory and reward for every victory. Deliver us from evil : This means from every kind of evil and especially the evil of being conquered by our spiritual enemies and thus falling into sin and offending God by becoming His enemy ourselves. It would be a sin to seek temptation, although we have a reward for resisting it when it comes. Amen : This means so be it or truly. May all we have asked be granted just as we have asked it. Prayerful wishes, Fr. Joseph
