For the book : “Our Father”, words in prayer
The fact that Jesus Christ himself, in his Sermon on the Mount, taught us the necessity and importance of prayer (Matt. 6:5-13), shows how much people lose who do not practice prayer. This also explains why instead of going to the altar, they run to the altar, that is, to the daily cares of life. You should pray like this, said the Lord, and taught the unsurpassed model of prayer, known as the Our Father. This Prayer par excellence is interpreted by Saint Gregory, Bishop of Nyssa, in five discourses. The first is introductory (necessity, manner of prayer, condemnation of verbosity, content of requests). In the second-fifth discourses, he interprets the Lord’s Prayer verse by verse with rare penetration, invoking hagiographic and other testimonies, the use of logic, the experience of everyday life, the findings of medicine, etc. By defining prayer as a bulwark of sobriety, a pedagogy of anger, a suppression of typhus, a cleansing of resentment, a cleansing of envy, a refutation of injustice, a restoration of impiety, a strength of bodies, a responsibility of the home, a good order of the city… God’s speech, the theory of the invisible…, the equality of angels, the progress of the good…, the enjoyment of the present, the existence of those who hope, he most convincingly shows us the necessity and benefits of prayer.
