Interesting. Was your post perhaps inspired by the Daily Mass gospel being about the Our Father?
Can’t really say I meditate on it per se. Perhaps I should do so more, after all, having come from the Lord’s own lips it is as perfect a prayer as we will ever have. Shows us that perfect prayer doesn’t have to be long.
The Our Father serves as a model of the types of prayer that we can and should use - praise and adoration, petition, submission to God’s will. And it reminds us that the praise and the submission to God’s will should always come first in our prayer, before the petition. I guess the fruit is that I have tried to pray more in this way lately
It also reminds us of all the non-material things we should be praying for - such as mercy, forgiveness, the strength to love and serve others, protection and guidance. And it reminds us to reflect God’s love and mercy as much as we can to others if we hope to receive these things for ourselves.
Additionally, it is a communal prayer - the ‘Our Father’, not the ‘My Father’, and phrased as ‘us’ and ‘we’, never ‘I’. Thus when we pray it we are, even if only on a subconscious level, including everyone in our prayers. It has a great levelling effect on me, reminding me of all those who have it just as bad or worse than I do at any given time.
Just a mishmash of some of my thoughts, for what they’re worth.
