Fr. Eric Nicolai preaches a meditation from Lyncroft Centre on October 20, 2021.

Luke 11, 1-14: When the apostles saw the Lord go off to pray, I’m sure they wondered what he was talking about. They could see he was not in some sort of private monologue, just thinking things to himself, much less stewing over something that the pharisees had said. He was not brain storming on his own. He was clearly in conversation with someone. So they asked him to teach them how to pray.

Now he gives them a new name, that God is “our Father”, he is close to us, we can trust him.

Years later Paul would use Jesus’ own word for God: Abba.
