Extract

Hallowed be thy name. Hallowed—a Saxon word meaning ‘Blessed, honourable, held holy'. May thy name then be blessed: may it be held holy:'may it be adored. Our prayer should not be all prayer of petition, all self-regarding; we should have some prayer of adoration, prayer just about God. The book of the Apocalypse gives us a description of this kind of prayer where it says, ‘And there was silence in heaven for about the space of half-an-hour'. Is there enough of this prayer in my life? This is the one thing necessary.
