Every Place Sacred, Everything Holy: Prayer Part 1


“When you pray, say: Father, may your name be revered as holy” - from Luke 11:2


The model prayer that Jesus taught his disciples in Luke begins with our reverence, with our desire to have an expanded sense of the sacred within and around us. 


We live in a seemingly secular world. The definition of secular here that I’m using means things and activities without spiritual significance. So, normally to us some things are of spiritual significance but most things aren’t. 


But if the “earth is the Lord’s, and the fullness thereof, the world and those who dwell therein” and if the cosmos “lives and moves and has its being in God”, how can there be anything or anyone that is without spiritual significance?


Trusting in the presence of a loving God, the first purpose or goal of prayer in Luke is to help us develop a sense of and a connection to this presence in our daily lives. Every place becomes sacred. Everything becomes holy.
