Inhaltsangabe

Pilgrim is a teaching and discipleship resource that helps inquirers and new Christians explore what it means to travel through life with Christ. A Christian course for the twenty-first century, Pilgrim offers an approach of participation, not persuasion. Following the practice of the ancient disciplines of biblical reflection and prayer with quotes from the Christian tradition throughout the ages, Pilgrim assumes little or no knowledge of the Christian faith. Individuals or small groups on the journey of discipleship in the Episcopal tradition can use Pilgrim at any point.

There are many different aspects to helping people learn about the Christian faith. We have taken as our starting point Jesus’ summary of the commandments. We are called to offer our lives to God through loving God with all our mind, soul, strength, and heart, and to love our neighbor as ourselves. Learning about Christian faith and growing in Christian faith is about more than what we believe. It’s also about the ways in which we pray and develop our relationship with God, about the way we live our lives and about living in God’s vision for the Church and for the world.

Course 2. The Lord’s Prayer: How do Christians know and worship God? Explore the Lord’s Prayer in these sessions as a gateway to the Christian gospel, as a guide to our own prayers, and as a way of deepening our relationship with God. Here is a way of seeing God and the world and yourself which is profound and revolutionary and good news.

CHAPTER 1

SESSION ONE:

OUR FATHER IN HEAVEN, HALLOWED BE YOUR NAME


The aim of this session is to explore and experience the truth that Jesus invites us into a new relationship with God as our Father in prayer and we are sisters and brothers together.


Opening Prayers

O God, make speed to save us.
O Lord, make haste to help us.

As a father cares for his children,
so does the Lord care for those who fear him.
PSALM 103:13

O Lord, I am not proud;
I have no haughty looks.

I do not occupy myself with great matters,
or with things that are too hard for me.

But I still my soul and make it quiet,
like a child upon its mother's breast;
my soul is quieted within me.

O Israel, wait upon the Lord,
from this time forth for evermore.
PSALM 131:1-4

But whenever you pray, go into your room and shut the door and pray to your Father who is in secret; and your Father who sees in secret will reward you. MATTHEW 6:6

Loving Father,
strengthen our hearts by your Holy Spirit.
Grant us power with all the saints
to appreciate how wide and long and high and deep
is the love of Christ.
Amen.

BASED ON EPHESIANS 3:16-19


Conversation

What is your earliest memory of saying the Lord's Prayer? How old were you? Who taught you to say the words?


Reflecting on Scripture

Reading

According to the gospels, Jesus himself gives the prayer to his disciples. We find the prayer in two different places. In Luke 11:1-4, Jesus gives the prayer when the disciples say to him: "Lord, teach us to pray." In Matthew's gospel, Jesus teaches his disciples to pray in the central section of the Sermon on the Mount.

"And whenever you pray, do not be like the hypocrites; for they love to stand and pray in the synagogues and at the street corners, so that they may be seen by others. Truly I tell you, they have received their reward. 6 But whenever you pray, go into your room and shut the door and pray to your Father who is in secret; and your Father who sees in secret will reward you.

7 "When you are praying, do not heap up empty phrases as the Gentiles do; for they think that they will be heard because of their many words. 8 Do not be like them, for your Father knows what you need before you ask him.

9 "Pray then in this way: Our Father in heaven, hallowed be your name. 10 Your kingdom come. Your will be done, on earth as it is in heaven. 11 Give us this day our daily bread. 12 And forgive us our debts, as we also have forgiven our debtors. 13 And do not bring us to the time of trial, but rescue us from the evil one. 14 For if you forgive
