Our Father in heaven,
As I say this prayer, may I remember that you are more than a mere cosmic concierge existent for the gratification of my deepest personal desires. You are the Father of all creation.

Our Father, you are the universal Father of all – Maker of heaven and earth – who rules over those who love you and those who resist you.

You reign in heaven and on earth, and are the legitimate Originator and Owner of everything found within the realm of creation. There is nothing I can give you that is not already yours; only of your own can I give to you.

holy is your name.
Perfection is your ultimate attribute. It is not a perfection which seeks flawlessness in religiosity and ritualistic obligations. It is a perfection in love. You are holy because you are perfect in love. The measure to which you love perfectly is the measure to which you are holy and desire holiness from those who follow you.

The command to love you and to love my neighbour is the very same command to be holy. The diligent fulfillment of all religious obligations devoid of the rule to love does not constitute holiness. I cannot serve a holy God if I do not love him and his creation. To be holy is to love perfectly.
