Our Father  "Hallowed Be Thy Name"

The Our Father was composed by our Lord some 2000 years ago and the similarities nearly two millennia later between the Our Father prayer and the Golden Arrow prayer in-part are quite noticeable. Take for example where Jesus says: "Hallowed Be Thy Name" - in the Our Father prayer - now compare that segment to the Golden Arrow prayer: May The Most Sacred Most "Adorable Name of God Be Always Praised." The devotees to the Holy Face Devotion are very much called to defend His Holy Name against the sin of blasphemy. 

Let us now reflect on why it is very bad to take the Lord's name in vain. In the Good Book it tells us clearly that we should never call good bad. When we associate something bad with His Holy Name, we are mocking Him to His Face publicly. We should never associate bad mistakes, bad works with His Holy Name. 

To paint a picture in your mind: Imagine someone used your name continually - when - something bad happened: how would that make you feel? Would you at first blush followed by a feeling of great injustice - to name but a few emotions.  

If you are willing to protect your own name, then surly in the spirit empathy you can see the great injustice that is being carried out on a daily bases without very little, to no thought for our Saviour's Name. Even little children mock Him.

Will you step up and defend His Holy Name.
