Now as to thy other question to know what prayer is best to be used, I shall give thee my opinion. Thou shalt understand that there be three kinds of vocal prayer. The first is that which was made immediately by God Himself, as the Pater noster; the second those that are made more generally by the ordinance of holy Church, as Matins, Evensong and Hours; the third sort such as are made by pious men addressed to our Lord and to our Lady and to His saints. (John Climacus)

Our Father: creator. source, preexisting and unbreakable relationship...

Who art in heaven: beyond our current experience...

Hallowed be thy name: sacred, consecrated, committed is your fundamental nature...

Thy kingdom come... your rightful reign and authority be recognized...

Thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven... your intent and purpose be achieved in our current experience.
