When your pray the Lord's Prayer:
I pray the Lord's prayer at daily Mass, and my third graders start the day with it each day.
What appeals to you about this prayer? What do you like about it?
I love that Jesus taught us the prayer, and that it is an "asking prayer and a forgiving " prayer.

"Thy kingdom come" means a lot to me as a teacher who wants children to know that they are pat of His kingdom...and that they have 'job' to do in living His gospel.

Being forgiven or the kingdom coming is difficult. At the moment, I guess it's people knowing that the way they are choosing to live their lives needs a lot of forgiving!
