Video: Truckers Pray The ‘Our Father’ After Voting To Continue Blockade Of U.S.-Canadian Border
The Daily Wire ^ | January 31, 2022 | Tim Meads

As the world began watching Royal Canadian Mounted Police descend upon truckers protesting the Canadian government’s COVID-19 vaccine requirement on its southern border, protesters were stationed inside a nearby building voting on whether or not to give in to police pressure trying to break up their convoy demanding vaccine freedom. After a voice vote in favor of staying put — continuing to block the entryway between the U.S and Canada — the group can be seen bowing their heads praying the “Our Father.”

Over the past week, a “Freedom Convoy” of more than 50,000 truckers formed in Canada, protesting the government’s mandates requiring truck drivers to be vaccinated against COVID-19 or face forced quarantine each time upon returning over the United States border. That protest ended in Ottawa, Ontario, the nation’s capital.

On Monday, The Daily Wire reported that a second “Freedom Convoy” had formed just north of the American border in Coutts, Alberta:

The blockade began Saturday, when drivers began to assemble on Highway 4 in Coutts, Alberta, on the border of Canada and the United States. The protest blocked travel completely on both sides of the Coutts border crossing, the Western Standard, an Alberta-based news site, reported Saturday. “Nothing is moving on either side of the border. They have blocked the shoulders now in both directions, too. You can’t get by at all now,” said reporter James Finkbeiner.

The Royal Canadian Mounted Police issued a traffic advisory shortly afterward, according to Global News Canada. Coutts Mayor Jim Willett said that as of Saturday, the protest had been peaceful.

The protest seemed to escalate Sunday. Royal Canadian Mounted Police posted a statement to Facebook Sunday morning declaring the protest unlawful. “The Alberta RCMP continue to act to preserve the peace and maintain public safety at the Coutts border crossing...

It is called both. The Our Father is the Catholic title for The Lord’s Prayer.

Catholics have always called it the Our Father because they follow the Jewish practice of referring to a particular prayer by its opening words. For example, the Jewish daily prayer that begins “Hear, O Israel, the LORD is one...”, is referred to as the Shema for the Hebrew word for “Hear.” In Jewish practice, even the books of the Hebrew bible are referred to by the opening words of the book.

I’ve only ever heard “Let’s pray the Lord’s Prayer”, except for Catholics.

Ironically, The Lord‘s prayer was an example of how to pray when praying to the Father. It was an example of how to actually pray and not just repeat meaningless verbiage with no meaning behind the words. It is ironic that this example of how not to just repeat meaningless words has become a meaningless repeated prayer.

The Our Father is the Catholic title for The Lord’s Prayer.

It was called the Pater Noster before either.

” . . .Lord God, Send angelic protection for all these and cover them with the Blood of Jesus. Help us to send them help. Give discernment and warning notice to all the persons involved regarding troublemakers planted by governments to foment violence and then blame peaceful protesters. Let these brave persons receive the food, water, shelter, fuel, logistics, showers, aid and comfort and protection and gratitude and divine assistance and not be harmed by this work.

Bless them with salvation. We Pray Psalm 91 Protection over them all.

Send more support, heavenly and human, and reinforcements in massive amounts. Turn the hearts of the SWAT teams and the government to freedom and let them act accordingly, Lord God.”

In Jesus’ Name, amen.
