Reflection on "A Prayer Inspired by the Our Father"

This morning, I discovered the web site of Br. Cathal Duddy ofm in Galway, Ireland. I like what he did with "A Prayer Inspired by the Our Father," which St. Francis wrote. Francis' version reflects his particular view of God. The scholars say it is not an original work. Back then, i.e., the 13th century, it was common to reflect on the "Our Father" prayer. Borrowing from the reflections of theologians and religious thinkers and putting together your own reflective version was accepted practice. Here is an idea: set aside some time this month and write your own version. Or, following Br. Cathal's example, select your own pictures to accompany Francis' version. I am sure you will find it rewarding. Pax!
