LORD'S PRAYER OF THE THIRD MILLENIUM
Our Father who Are in Us and we in You:
Let us all be able to help make this world better, which is so necessary.
Let us all carry out this task that fulfils ourselves and justifies our coming to the Planet Earth.
Make, Lord, that NOBODY -neither our ancestors, our contemporaries, nor our descendants-, be ashamed of us. On the contrary, MAY WE GAIN OUR OPTION TO BE HERE.And anybody trust us, WITHOUT BEING DISAPPOINTED.
Thank you, Lord.
Our Father who Are in us and we in You:
There is no doubt we are inside "something" that keeps us in what we call "LIFE". When this leaves us,it makes our vital features stop working and then we are not living beings any more. The existence of this "something" enabled us to become what we are (through what we may call "NATURE", "CREATION" or "TIME"), so we can consider ourselves consequence or children of that Origin, which we cannot deny and which we could not exist without. Therefore, when we address our conscience to that Origin (Which is in us and we are in it), we say "Our Father who Are in us and we in You".
Let us all be able to help make this world better, which is so necessary.
If each being has its own world, we can agree that (at least) there are as many worlds as beings exist, and for each one their own world is not only necessary but also essential. The sum of those personal individual worlds make up what we could call "Great World" or "Universal World", whose unbeatable quality is, consequently, necessary for itself and for the individual worlds which make it up. (It is like the capacity of a "Great Ocean" or "Universal Ocean": to reach its top potential, the drops which make it up must help do it. It is not enough to try to be better, better and better every day, but they have to rely on their genealogical programme characteristics to manage to overcome all their surrounding conditions which may seem adverse: the "World-Father" quality, which is the ocean helps get the "world-son" quality, which is each component drop, and vice versa). If each of us would simply flow and try to keep this harmony, which is both ours and universal, at any time, thus we would be saying: "Let us all be able to help make this world better, which is so necessary".
Let us all carry out this task that fulfils ourselves and justifies our coming to the Planet Earth.
Every living being is born with an inner potential trend towards something which makes it feel happy, complete if it can do a certain task (which we could call "its" task), no matter if it is paid or not. In cosmic justice, we should be each able to do "our" task, not only because we would feel happy but also because our coming to the physical world of this Earth Planet has been at the expense of a great number of our fellows remaining behind. We must justify in this way (to ourselves and to the whole Creation) that being awarded with the privilege of being born has not been in vain.
"Let us all carry out this task that fulfils ourselves and justifies our coming to the Planet Earth". To do so we rely on Your Willpower's strength and our compromise of knowing how to be in tune with it.
Make, Lord, that NOBODY -neither our ancestors, our contemporaries, nor our descendants- be ashamed of us. On the contrary: MAY WE GAIN OUR OPTION TO BE HERE.
Each of us is alive here and now thanks to the effort and sacrifice done by those who existed before. Maybe we owe our life to an unknown and ignorant (or not) ancestor who in a precise moment risked its life to get some food and feed its family, which later became ours. Just due to this survival act, we are in eternal debt with our ancestors, who would be ashamed of us if we were unworthy. The same would happen to any of our remote descendants, who we cannot even have in mind now, but who may exist if our genealogical chain does not break. Regarding our contemporaries, they are the nearest who can suffer from our attitude: even if it was only "to be ashamed of somebody else", this would be enough not to deserve "our option to be here", alive, and in the place of someone possibly more worthy than us and who (to give us its chance) was not born."Make, Lord, that NOBODY -neither our ancestors, our contemporaries, nor our descendants- be ashamed of us. On the contrary: MAY WE GAIN OUR OPTION TO BE HERE". (We address the Father as "tú" because we are confident as we know we are His children; but we also call Him "Lord", in respect for the dignity of being the Origin of everybody and everything. For both things we ask for His help, as we are aware of the difficulty of fulfilling the great responsibility we have to assume at any time if we could only rely on our little willpower).
And anybody trust us, WITHOUT BEING DISAPPOINTED...
To feel alone is like being cold in the soul. Even the most merciless person needs to know someone trusts him or her because trusting is loving, wishing and hoping: each being (even the heartless) needs to feel he is loved, wished and waited for another one, although in the case of the human being, this "another one" is just a dog, a horse or any other kind of animal or plant. But, we need someone to trust us! ... not to feel alone and deserted. When we feel overwhelmed by what we think is a serious problem which we cannot overcome, is good to trust the mercy of the one able to solve it, opening our heart, telling him our troubles plainly and asking for his help honestly: by showing we trust him, he is sure to help us (as for him, being the repository of our faith is worthier than the apparent significance of his help. However (in fair response to his good deed), we must always be honest and thankful, the opposite would cause him what mostly plays havoc with the human behaviour: disappointment. "And anybody trust us, WITHOUT BEING DISAPPOINTED ..."
Thank you, Lord.
(One of the most rewarding feelings to the human being is to be thankful: for everything; even for what apparently will only cause misfortune, because thanks to it he will have the chance to obtain wisdom.
"Thank you, Lord". What easy words to utter and how difficult to say...!)
Attention:
This prayer "Lord's Prayer of the Third Millenium" was received in the year 1992 in Spain, coinciding with a fraticidal bloody war which took place (among many others) in the European nation of Jugoslavia.
At that moment it was thought that if the contents of this prayer were spread properly all over the world, and its spirit understood and adopted, there would be a lot of possibilities (little by little, generation after generation) so that this Mankind stop doing foolish things against themselves and go back to the way of good sense, peace and harmony that should never have been left.
Today, this "Lord's Prayer of the Third Millenium" comes to you. Please, use it properly and help spread, understand and introduce it.
Thank you, Lord.
