"Vain repetition" prayers don't cut it either, saradippity. The Lord's Prayer has its place for sure, but not really as an invocation. I may be wrong but that's how I feel.
Wow,the Lord's Prayer,vain repetition? No wonder I have so much trouble understanding some people on this thread,who seem to have spent considerable time studying something.
I was happy to see that you did close with acknowledging that it was the way you felt about it. That you recognize that,is good.
