Precious Blood of Jesus Christ

Praying to Almighty is a Unique Way. Praying to God is to believe that your prayers are heard and granted.

Model of prayers from Human is Unique and cannot be compared Holy Mass prayers is for all equal, but Our Prayed that comes from Heart is most pleasing to God..

Jesus gave a model of prayer in Matthew 6, because the disciples wanted to know how to really pray.  

The Lord’s Prayer was not meant to be simply memorized and recited. It was meant to be to a guideline and outline on how to pray.

Christ has taught us, in the divine model of prayer which he has delivered to us, that we are bound to recommend to him, before all other things, the exaltation of his own honour and glory, and to beg that the kingdom of his holy grace and love be planted in all hearts.

If we love God above all things, and with our whole hearts, or have any true charity for our neighbour, this will be the centre of all our desires, that God be loved and served by all his creatures, and that he be glorified, in the most perfect manner, in our own souls.

~ Alban Butler

Ecclesiasticus 43.13-20

By his command he sends the driving snow
and speeds the lightnings of his judgement.
Therefore the storehouses are opened,
and the clouds fly out like birds.
In his majesty he gives the clouds their strength,
and the hailstones are broken in pieces.
The voice of his thunder rebukes the earth;
when he appears, the mountains shake.
At his will the south wind blows;
so do the storm from the north and the whirlwind.
He scatters the snow like birds flying down,
and its descent is like locusts alighting.
The eye is dazzled by the beauty of its whiteness,
and the mind is amazed as it falls.
He pours frost over the earth like salt,
and icicles form like pointed thorns.
The cold north wind blows,
and ice freezes on the water;
it settles on every pool of water,
and the water puts it on like a breastplate.

Lord

There are six parts to the Lord’s Prayer:

• Praise
• Petition
• Provision
• Pardon
• Power
• Praise

“Pray then like this: ‘Our Father in heaven, hallowed be your name. Your kingdom come, your will be done, on earth as it is in heaven. Give us this day our daily bread, and forgive us our debts, as we also have forgiven our debtors. And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil.’ ”- Matthew 6:9–13

We have been considering the acrostic ACTS—adoration, confession, thanksgiving, supplication—which can be helpful for structuring our prayers. However, we would be remiss if in our study on prayer we did not also consider the Lord’s Prayer. Since Jesus first gave it to His disciples, believers have recited this prayer in public worship and in private intercession.

Certainly, it is appropriate to recite the Lord’s Prayer. Yet, what many people miss is that the Lord’s Prayer is not merely something for us to say aloud but actually is a model structure for prayer.

We know this from Matthew 6:9, where in introducing the Lord’s Prayer, Jesus says, “Pray then like this.”

First and foremost, the Lord’s Prayer is an example of the kind of prayer that honors God, and its various elements show us what we should include in our prayers.

Moving through the prayer line by line, we note several things. First, we see the privilege of prayer. We can call God “our Father” (Matt. 6:9), and this promise of a familial, intimate relationship with God is no small thing.

Not everyone is a child of God, but only those who believe in Christ alone for salvation (John 1:11–12). We have God as our loving Father only if we are in Christ by faith.

Second, the first petition of the prayer is for God’s name to be hallowed (Matt. 6:9). This alerts us to the priorities we should have in prayer. Above all else, Jesus asks for God’s name to be hallowed—to be honored as holy on the earth. We should want that above all else as well, praying that men and women would know and respect the holiness of the Lord and His sovereign reign.

Jesus then prays for God’s kingdom to come and for His will to be done on earth as it is in heaven (v. 10).

Jesus does not here request for God to become King over creation, for He is sovereign over everything by virtue of His being God (Ps. 97:1).

Instead, Jesus asks that people would acknowledge God’s reign by bowing to His authority and keeping His commandments.

God’s kingdom is evident wherever people do His revealed will, and Jesus shows us we should ask for people to become willing servants of the Lord.

After praying for the kingdom, Jesus instructs us to pray for our needs (“our daily bread”) and for forgiveness (Matt. 9:11–12).

Finally, we are to pray that the Lord would preserve us from temptation, that we would be kept from situations in which we feel the full assault of the world, the flesh, and the devil (v. 13).

Bless the Lord, O My Soul

103 Of David.

1  yBless the Lord, O my soul,

and all that is within me,

bless his holy name!

2  yBless the Lord, O my soul,

and zforget not all his benefits,

3  who aforgives all your iniquity,

who bheals all your diseases,

4  who credeems your life from the pit,

who dcrowns you with steadfast love and mercy,

5  who esatisfies you with good

so that your youth is renewed like fthe eagle’s.

6  The Lord works grighteousness

and justice for all who are oppressed.

7  He made known his hways to Moses,

his iacts to the people of Israel.

8  The Lord is jmerciful and gracious,

slow to anger and abounding in steadfast love.

9  kHe will not always chide,

nor will he lkeep his anger forever.

10  He does not deal with us maccording to our sins,

nor repay us according to our iniquities.

11  For nas high as the heavens are above the earth,

so great is his osteadfast love toward pthose who fear him;

12  as far as the east is from the west,

so far does he qremove our transgressions from us.

13  As ra father shows compassion to his children,

so the Lord shows compassion pto those who fear him.

14  For he knows our frame;1

he sremembers that we are dust.

15  As for man, his days are like tgrass;

he flourishes like ua flower of the field;

16  for vthe wind passes over it, and wit is gone,

and xits place knows it no more.

17  But ythe steadfast love of the Lord is from everlasting to everlasting on pthose who fear him,

and his righteousness to zchildren’s children,

18  to those who akeep his covenant

and bremember to do his commandments.

19  The Lord has cestablished his throne in the heavens,

and his dkingdom rules over all.

20  Bless the Lord, O you ehis angels,

you fmighty ones who gdo his word,

obeying the voice of his word!

21  Bless the Lord, all his hhosts,

his iministers, who do his will!

22  jBless the Lord, all his works,

in all places of his dominion.

kBless the Lord, O my soul!

but all the wicked he will destroy.

 21  My mouth will speak the praise of the Lord,

The Lord’s Prayer

11 Now Jesus1 was praying in a certain place, and when he finished, one of his disciples said to him, “Lord, teach us to pray, gas John taught his disciples.” 2 And he said to them, h“When you pray, say:

i“Father, jhallowed be kyour name.

lYour kingdom come.

3 mGive us neach day our daily bread,2

4 and oforgive us our sins,

for we ourselves forgive everyone who is indebted to us.

And plead us not into temptation.”

5 And he said to them, “Which of you who has a friend will go to him at midnight and say to him, ‘Friend, lend me three loaves,

6 for a friend of mine has arrived on a journey, and I have nothing to set before him’;

7 and he will answer from within, ‘Do not bother me; the door is now shut, and my children are with me in bed. I cannot get up and give you anything’?

8 I tell you, though he will not get up and give him anything qbecause he is his friend, yet because of his impudence3 he will rise and give him whatever he needs.

9 And I tell you, rask, and sit will be given to you; tseek, and you will find; uknock, and it will be opened to you.

10 For everyone who asks receives, and the one who seeks finds, and to the one who knocks it will be opened.

11 What father among you, if his son asks for4 a fish, will instead of a fish give him a serpent;

12 or if he asks for an egg, will give him a scorpion?

13 If you then, wwho are evil, know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more will the heavenly Father give the Holy Spirit to those who ask him!”

Jesus and Beelzebul

14 yNow he was casting out a demon that was mute. When the demon had gone out, the mute man spoke, and the people marveled.

15 But some of them said, “He casts out demons zby Beelzebul, the prince of demons,”

16 while others, ato test him, kept seeking from him a sign from heaven.

17 bBut he, cknowing their thoughts, said to them, “Every kingdom divided against itself is laid waste, and a divided household falls.

18 And if Satan also is divided against himself, how will his kingdom stand? For you say that I cast out demons by Beelzebul.

19 And if I cast out demons by Beelzebul, dby whom do eyour sons cast them out? Therefore they will be your judges.

20 But if it is by fthe finger of God that I cast out demons, then gthe kingdom of God has come upon you.

21 When a strong man, fully armed, guards his own palace, his goods are safe;

22 hbut when one stronger than he attacks him and iovercomes him, he takes away his jarmor in which he trusted and kdivides his spoil.

23 lWhoever is not with me is against me, and whoever does not gather with me scatters.

Return of an Unclean Spirit

24 m“When the unclean spirit has gone out of a person, it passes through nwaterless places seeking rest, and finding none it says, ‘I will return to my house from which I came.’

25 And when it comes, it finds the house swept and put in order.

26 Then it goes and brings seven other spirits more evil than itself, and they enter and dwell there. And othe last state of that person is worse than the first.”

True Blessedness

27 As he said these things, pa woman in the crowd raised her voice and said to him, q“Blessed is the womb that bore you, and the breasts at which you nursed!”

28 But he said, r“Blessed rather are those swho hear the word of God and tkeep it!”

The Sign of Jonah

29 uWhen the crowds were increasing, he began to say, v“This generation is an evil generation. wIt seeks for a sign, but no sign will be given to it except the sign of Jonah.

30 For as xJonah became a sign to the people of Nineveh, so will the Son of Man be to this generation.

31 yThe queen of the South will rise up at the judgment with the men of this generation and zcondemn them, for she came from the ends of the earth to hear the wisdom of Solomon, and behold, asomething greater than Solomon is here.

32 bThe men of Nineveh will rise up at the judgment with this generation and zcondemn it, for cthey repented at the preaching of Jonah, and behold, asomething greater than Jonah is here.

The Light in You

33 d“No one after lighting a lamp puts it in a cellar or under a basket, but on a stand, so that those who enter may see the light.

34 Your eye is ethe lamp of your body. When your eye is healthy, your whole body is full of light, but when it is fbad, your body is full of darkness.

35 eTherefore be careful lest the light in you be darkness.

36 If then your whole body is full of light, having no part dark, it will be wholly bright, gas when a lamp with its rays gives you light.”

Woes to the Pharisees and Lawyers

37 While Jesus5 was speaking, ha Pharisee asked him to dine with him, so he went in and reclined at table.

38 The Pharisee was astonished to see ithat he did not first wash before dinner.

39 And the Lord said to him, j“Now you Pharisees cleanse the outside of the cup and of the dish, but inside you are full of kgreed and wickedness.

40 lYou fools! jDid not he who made the outside make the inside also?

41 But mgive as alms those things that are within, and behold, neverything is clean for you.

42 o“But woe to you Pharisees! For pyou tithe mint and rue and every herb, and neglect qjustice and rthe love of God. sThese you ought to have done, without neglecting the others.

43 Woe to you Pharisees! For tyou love the best seat in the synagogues and greetings in the marketplaces.

44 Woe to you! uFor you are like unmarked graves, and people walk over them without knowing it.”

45 One of vthe lawyers answered him, “Teacher, in saying these things you insult us also.”

46 And he said, “Woe to you wlawyers also! For xyou load people with burdens hard to bear, and you yourselves do not touch the burdens with one of your fingers.

47 yWoe to you! For you build the tombs of the prophets whom your fathers killed.

48 zSo you are witnesses and you aconsent to the deeds of byour fathers, for they killed them, and you build their tombs.

49 Therefore also cthe Wisdom of God said, d‘I will send them eprophets and apostles, fsome of whom they will gkill and persecute,’

50 so that hthe blood of all the prophets, shed ifrom the foundation of the world, may be jcharged against this generation,

51 from the blood of kAbel to the blood of lZechariah, who perished between mthe altar and the sanctuary. Yes, I tell you, it will be jrequired of this generation.

52 Woe to you nlawyers! oFor you have taken away the key of pknowledge. You qdid not enter yourselves, and you hindered those who were entering.”

53 As he went away from there, the scribes and the Pharisees began to press him hard and to provoke him to speak about many things,

54 rlying in wait for him, sto catch him in something he might say.
