Breaking down the Lord's Prayer

Earlier this year, I joined a weekly Bible study at my church.  We are doing an in depth study of the gospel of Matthew, and I have really learned so much in the time I've been a part of this group.  We are facilitated by lay people in the parish, but some of them just have so much knowledge to share.  Last week, we covered chapter 6, which is part of the Sermon on the Mount, where Jesus taught people what we now know as the Lord's Prayer.  Before we left, we were given a handout that I wanted to share.  Catholics recite the Lord's Prayer each week at Mass.  Do any of us, though, really think about what we're saying when we say these words?  Let me share this link, which is the same info as what we received in our handout last week:

The next time you pray these words, think about what you're truly saying.  Think about the power behind these words.
