 Jesus is always in prayer. His whole life is focused on the Father. At decisive moments, Luke shows Jesus in prayer, for example: Luke 3:21: an important moment of his baptism; Luke 6:12: he spends the whole night in prayer before choosing his apostles; Luke 9:29: he prays before the transfiguration; Luke 11:1: he prays before teaching the Lord's Prayer; Luke 9:18-22: he is in prayer before asking his disciples who he is; Luke 22:31-32: he prays for Peter; Luke 10:21: Jesus rejoices in the Holy Spirit; Luke 22:41: he prays on the Mount of Olives before giving himself up to death; and Luke 23:34, 36: he prays on the cross.

2. The "Our Father", taught by Jesus, reveals his own life of prayer and the very way he prayed. In Matthew and Luke, the "Our Father" is presented in different contexts and with some variations. For example, in Matthew the context is that of the Mount, where Jesus teaches about Justice and the will of God (Matthew 6:9-13); in Luke, the context is that of his journey to Jerusalem. As for the variations, Matthew presents seven (7) petitions; and Luke only five (5). Matthew is concerned with the formation of Christians coming from Judaism; Luke, in turn, turns to the Greeks who converted to Christianity. Both Matthew and Luke reveal the importance of this prayer in the life of the Church from its beginnings. 3. The "Our Father" is the prayer of Jesus' disciples. They learned from the Master to be people of prayer, also praying in the same way and with the same objective. When they pray the "Our Father", they emphasize: first: the implementation of the Father's plan, his Name and his Kingdom; second: they give relevance to their own needs: for bread, for forgiveness and for strength to avoid falling into temptation. Like Jesus, the disciple turns to the Father. In Matthew, it is “Our Father”, in Luke, only “Father”. The disciples must live totally turned to the Father, through Jesus Christ, in the Holy Spirit. Their whole life must be Trinitarian. The Father of the Beloved Son became, through the same Son, by the action of the Holy Spirit, also OUR Father. The ABBÁ (daddy) of Jesus (Lk 22:42; 23:34, 46; Gal 4:6) is now also the ABBÁ of the disciple, constituting a new way of placing oneself before God in trust and freedom. 4. We can now pray the “Our Father”, placing ourselves at the disposal of the Father’s will, recognizing Him as the everything of our existence, trusting absolutely in His salvific plan and emphasizing His free initiative for the establishment of His Kingdom. Furthermore, we are aware of our mission as instruments of the Lord, so that His plan may be fulfilled through our free response. To this end, as beings in extreme need, we humbly place ourselves at His complete disposal, so that He may grant us the grace of our daily bread, of liberation from sin and of fidelity to Him in the fight against evil.
