Oliver Wendell Holmes

        Said: “My religion is summed up in the first two words of the Lord’s Prayer.” “Our Father.” What a gift the truth is and we don’t have to look far to find it. It begins here with the first clause of the Lord’s Prayer: “Our Father.” Of course there will always be the exceptions that make the headlines but aren’t we truly at our best when our children are involved? The concept of a cruel and despotic ruler of the Heavens imbued with all the evil and capricious tendencies that humans unfortunately have shown when placed in a position of ultimate authority is destroyed finally and forever by this simple and revolutionary truth about our relationship with God, “Our Father”. As the Great Carpenter teaches: If you then, being evil, know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more shall your Father which is in heaven give good things to them that ask him? (Matthew 7:11).
