There is a story that connects the Lord’s Prayer with the six-petaled rose at the center of an eleven-circuit labyrinth, such as the famous one found at Chartres Cathedral. Each of the petals corresponds to part of the Lord’s Prayer, with the following themes:
Faith Our Creator, who art in heaven, hallowed be thy name.
Surrender Thy kingdom come, thy will be done
Service on earth as it is in heaven.
Abundance Give us this day our daily bread
Forgiveness And forgive us our debts as we forgive our debtors.
Strength Lead us not into temptation but deliver us from evil.
For thine is the kingdom and the power and the glory forever. Amen
Try this prayer the next time you get to walk a labyrinth!
Our Father who dwells within – All in all,
In you I live and move and have my being.
L: Our Father
R: Sounds a bit sexiest to me, what about our Mother?
Dear One, closer to us than our own hearts, farther from us than the most distant star, you are beyond naming.
