ISB ~ Matthew 6 v9

Our:The first person plural (our, us, we) is prominent in the Our Father. It is thus a prayer for the Church (CCC 2768).

Father:Jesus may have taught this prayer in Aramaic, a language related to ancient Hebrew and in common usage among first-century Jews. In this case, Jesus would have addressed the Father as “Abba”, an affectionate title preserved elsewhere in the NT (Mk 14:36; Rom 8:15; Gal 4:6). While Jesus alone is the Father’s Son by nature, we too become his children by the grace of divine adoption (Rom 8:14-16; Gal 4:4-7). As God’s children in Christ (Jn 1:12), Christians now regard God as their Father in a more profound way than OT Israel had (Deut 32:6): they participate in God’s divine life (2 Pet 1:4; 1 Jn 3:1; CCC 2766, 2780).

Hallowed be your name:A petition that all would recognize God’s name as holy (Ps 111:9; Lk 1:49). To call upon God’s name is an ancient form of worship (Gen 4:26; Ps 116:17; Joel 2:32), and the Law warns against taking his name “in vain” (Ex 20:7) (CCC 2807).
