Hallowed Be Your Name

When we pray, we are stepping out of the fundamental reality of this world and into the fundamental, truer reality of god. And every time we do, we hallow his name so that the place that our prayers emerge from is more defined by who he is than the clutter that is all around me to day. We might be comforted by the intimacy of calling god father, where they were scandalized, but we equally tend to be scandalized by the reverence of saying hallowed be your name.
