Catechesis: Our Father

You should say, “My prayer is as precious, holy, and pleasing to God as that of St. Paul or the most holy saints. This is the reason: I will gladly grant that Paul is personally more holy, but that’s not because of the commandment. God does not consider prayer because of the person, but because of His Word and obedience to it. For I rest my prayer on the same commandment on which all the saints rest their prayer. Furthermore, I pray for the same thing that they all pray for and always have prayed.—LC III:16
