We are blessed to have strong, faith-filled Grandmas!<br />I think it's wonderful to focus more intently on the classic prayers of our Faith. There are so many beautiful words and phrases that we can easily take for granted in classic prayers and the text of the Mass.

I just finished listening to Scott Hahn's talk (through Lighthouse Media) on the Our Father, and it was amazing - you shared some of his exact same thoughts! That prayer, which can often seem so routine to say, now has more meaning in my life.

It's so easy for those words to become familiar; so easy for us to forget their meanings since we pray the prayer so often. We do a similar reflection with the kids in a catechism class that I teach. We put each line of the prayer on cardstock, then cut it apart (like a puzzle), then discuss each line, then ask the kids to put it back together in the correct order. Such interesting discussions evolve! And it is amazing how much better the kids retain the prayer when they understand its deep meaning.<br /><br />Wishing you a meaningful Lent.<br /><br />Cheryl<br />http://www.diary-of-a-sower.blogspot.comCherylhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13879501981487394073noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-961139827011176843.post-68614988466856486532013-02-23T18:53:33.114-06:002013-02-23T18:53:33.114-06:00Congratulations!

I never finished that reflection, but now I guess I will have to after reading your post.<br /><br />Enjoy being a father! Fatherhood is a double blessing: the child is a blessing to his father, and the father is a blessing to his child.<br /><br />God bless.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-961139827011176843.post-29970529976680071382013-02-22T11:59:17.055-06:002013-02-22T11:59:17.055-06:00I agree with your other readers Chad!

He asked us to sit down and close our eyes while he stated one line of the Our Father prayer then reflected on it. It was moving and I pray it took root in me and every one else present. I'm a big fan of the Magnificat too! Especially like their Lenten and Advent companions.<br /><br />May God bless you throughout your Lenten Journey!noreenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11512311149461187879noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-961139827011176843.post-29822822637600288632013-02-22T08:04:23.708-06:002013-02-22T08:04:23.708-06:00Such a beautiful post, Chad!

We've been doing this ever since I was a little kid, and it's become an integrated part of our lives." So much is grown from the domestic church -- and the extended domestic church.

It's hard to imagine that 2,000 years ago people were without Christ but so close to receiving His saving presence and that people for the last 1900+ years have been reciting the same prayers as we do today.
