"Hallowed be Thy Name." — Luke 11:2 Pastor’s Desk – June 2, 2019 When we pray "Hallowed be thy Name", it is to remind ourselves of the greatness and glory of God our Father. Go up to meet with God, placing your great desires secondary; and that God should be loved, honored, and obeyed. Put God's interests above your own. Enthrone Him in thought and petition. God's name is His Nature—His attributes, the various qualities that go into making Him what He is. When we ask for it to be hallowed, we ask that all which obscures it should be swept away. We thank God for all that is known of His beautiful Being, for the message of Nature, for revelation given to seers and prophets, for the Word who came from Him, and for the Holy Spirit who reveals Him. In a world that neither knew nor hallowed God's Name, Jesus set Himself to reveal and unfold all its wonderful depths. Let us try every day to know more of that Name, and to make it known. It is said that the passion of the French soldiers for Napoleon was so great, that even when mortally wounded they would raise themselves as he came riding past on his charger, and cry: "Long live the Emperor!" It is when we have become wholly absorbed in bringing glory to God in the highest, that we shall know peace in our hearts, and become the channels of goodwill to men, as men and women of goodwill, i.e., the doers of God's Will! Bless His holy Name! In His service, Pr. Teddy Santos
