Daily Gospel Commentary

Tuesday of the First week of Lent

Commentary of the day
Saint Cyprian (c.200-258), Bishop of Carthage and martyr
The Lord's Prayer, 11-12 (trans. ©The Fathers of the Church)

"Hallowed be your name"

Most beloved brethren, we ought to remember and to know that, when we speak of God, we ought to act as children of God... Let us live as if temples of God (1Cor 3,16), that it may be clear that the Lord dwells in us. Let not our acts depart from the Spirit... The blessed Apostle Paul also, in his Epistle, has laid down: “You are not your own, for you have been bought at a great price. Glorify God and bear him in your body” (1Cor 6,19).

We say: “Hallowed be thy name” not because we wish for God to be hallowed by our prayers, but because we seek from the Lord that his name be hallowed in us. Moreover, by whom is God hallowed who himself hallows? He himself said: “Be holy, for I am holy,” (Lv 20,26) therefore we petition and ask for this, that we who have been sanctified in baptism may persevere in what we have begun. And for this we pray daily.
