The great jurist stated: “My religion is summed up in the first two words of the
Lord’s Prayer.” “Our Father.” The truth of our relationship with the miraculous is here in 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 positions 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 taught:
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).
