November 24, 2013 – Catechism 2803 – 2806

I don’t know if I have ever thought of the these as 7 separate petitions.  It looks like we will get to go through each individually, so this is more like an “in brief” section before we begin.  3 petitions focused on God to get our focus towards Him, 4 petitions asking for Him to help us.  I wonder if you could always form your prayer in this formula.  Come up with a our father formula for prayer.

Give us…

Forgive us…

Lead us…

Deliver us…

With the Our Father being the perfect prayer, we may find that what we ask for in those petitions is perfectly covered by the words that God has given us, but it seems a good way to form your own individual prayer if you struggle with communicating with God.
