Recently I visited Mt St Benedict. Since my childhood I have always found it spiritually uplifting to pray in that sacred space. The abbey church and its surroundings fill one with peace/serenity.
When I attended Holy Faith Convent, Couva, I was a member of the Girl Guides. I recall walking with other Girl Guides up St John’s Road to this church, praying the rosary as we walked. Today many persons, Catholics and persons of other faiths, continue to walk up to the church, almost like a pilgrimage.

In today’s Gospel (Luke 11:1-13), some of Jesus’ disciples ask him to teach them how to pray. Luke’s version of the Lord’s Prayer is shorter than the one we read in Matthew 6:9-11. During Holy Mass, the Lord’s Prayer is placed after the Eucharistic Prayer and before communion.
