AWESOME Shortly after 6:00 P.M., on April 3' d other moment of the Church year is so rich in symbolism as the Easter yard. No , ais the fi night r e of all nights. It is the heart of Christianity. It is EASTER! Vigil. "It b e g i n s Those of us in the RCIA Process are waiting for the moment when we t o gleefully at the new fire and begin the vigil of fl Join i with c other k e parishioners r Easter.i n t h e We witness the Easter Candle—with the symbols of Christ's c h u r or Paschal c divinity h and his suffering—being lit from the new fire. We light our candle symbolic of the resurrected Christ. Jesus is the Light of the World! As we enter the church, we are aware of a cantor singing an ancient and beautiful song, Exsultet, "Rejoice." As the lights come on we notice the sanctuary which is beautifully decorated with flowers. We hear Scripture readings about water and new creation as the Word of God is proclaimed. Easter water is blessed. The singing of the Litany of Saints. Alleluias are sung for the first time in six weeks. And it is now time for the Catechumens to be baptized and the newly baptized and Candidates to come into full communion as we join together and become one in Eucharist. JESUSCHRIST IS TRULYRISEN FROM THE DEAD! In preparation for these awesome moments, we spend this evening in prayer.

The OUR FATHER prayer service: This prayer service is to help ordinary people have a little better awareness of the God we talk to, and of the Son who revealed him, and of the Spirit who lives in them. What better place to start our prayer life today than with the LORD'S prayer?
The spirit of the Gospel resonates in the Our Father. I t is a prayer for the followers of Jesus. Jesus called his Father, 'ABBA.'
The Lord's prayer is found in the gospels in two slightly different versions. One is Matthew 6:9-13 and the other is Luke 11:2-4.
Jesuswas praying, and when he finished his prayer, one of the disciples asked Jesus: "Lord teach us to pray, just as John the Baptizer taught his discOles." In answer to this request Jesus taught them the Our Father. The last lines: "for the kingdom, the power and the glory are yours, now and forever. Amen" were added and are our words of praise. In this prayer there is adoration, praise, thanksgiving and petition, and it is a formula prayer which is suitable for all occasions.

'Hallowed Be Your Name!' Relatiag
In Scripture a namesayswhoandwhat a personis. WhenGodcommunicates his name,he communicates who he is.God's name in the OldTestament is I Am or The One Who Is:
Thisnameinspiresasense ofaweandreverence—an Interestingcounterpoint toAbba.We know Godasa lovingFather, but we mustalsobe aware of this more-than-words-can-describeaspect of God: the feeling wegetwhenweseea beautifulsunsetor sunrise.Wecan be in awe of God in his manyworks of nature—mountains,oceans,canyons.

Doesthis reality affectmy life inanyway?If so,how? Reflecting and Recording
I use thesenameswhen I addressGod:
petitions. We are asking the Father to establish his rule, his will everywhere "on earth as it Is in heaven." Jesus compared the Reign of God to a pearl of great price or a treasure hidden in a field (Matthew 13:44-46). The full establishment of thisKingdomwasthe vision and mission of the early Church. And it is our vision and mission too. Praying for the Reign of God on earth can be both exciting and frightening. The earth is, after all, us. Are we willing to be changed for the sake of thisReign?
My favorite name for God is

•
Whatarethe needs ofmyfamily,mycommunity,my world?
How will I give back to the Father and to my community the "bread" already given to me this day?
Responding Relax and breathe deeply. Remember, you are in contact with God who loves you and wantsto satisfy your daily needs. Be quiet and listen. Then thank him for all he has already given you. Remembering With each meal or snacktoday, rememberhow your Father has filled your needs in the past and is filling your needs today. Trust him to provide you with "bread" tomorrow.
The opening focus of the Our Father is on God—his name, his Kingdom and his will for us. Then the focus shifts to us and our personal needs as we pray for bread, the very sustenance of life. In our very asking we affirm our belief that we are dependent on God for everything. Next we pray for forgiveness. 'Sins," "trespasses: "debts,""wrongs"—various translations of the Our Father use different words to express our deep sense of "missing the mark," violating others' rights, owing more than we can repay, breaking God's law. Whatever word we use, however, we know we stand In need of God's healing forgiveness. And God's forgiveness is always there for us. But we need to open ourselves to receive this forgiveness over and over again. We pray today to receive the forgiveness of God.Only then can we pass that forgiveness on. Reflecting and Recording God'sforgiveness is his gift to us. We need to accept this gift and forgive ourselves. Right now I most need God to forgive me for these sins, trespasses and debts:

'Forgive Us..:e9/01 Relating 44 Pray, slowly and thoughtfully, the prayeriesus taught Our Father in heaven, hallowed be your name, your kingdom come, your will be done on earth as it is in heaven. Give us today our daily bread, and forgive us the wrong we have,done as we forgive those who wrong us. Subject us not to the trial but deliver us from the evil one. (Matthew 6:94 4)
Right now I most need to forgive myself for the following sins, trespasses or debts:
Perhaps the following prayer might help. Responding Relax and breathe deeply. As you do so, let Cod's unconditional love and forgiveness flow through you. Let God love you and forgive you. Conclude with this prayer:
Reflecting and Recording This exercise requires time, thought and, at least, your desire to forgive. List all thosewho have hurt you in anyway. You may want to go back to your childhood, your teen years and so on.
My Father, I need your forgiveness. I accept it today and I also forgive myself. Help me to accept myself asyou accept me throughout the day. •

Prayer Time 7
As We Forgive' WAP Relating It Only one petition of the Our Father includes a condition: "Forgive us...as we forgive Often we hold others responsible for the hurts and wrongs in our lives. And at times they are. People do cause uspain. People have ignored us, stepped on us, used us, abandoned us, forgotten us. These are real hurts. Social systems, government bureaucracy and even the Church have caused some of us untold anxiety and pain. We are not asked to pretend that unjust and painful events didn't happen or that we aren't affected by the sins of those who have wronged us. But we are asked to forgive, to absolve, to release from debt. Webster's New Collegiate Diaionaty detmes forgive as "to give up resentment or claim to requital on account of an offense." Just as our Father forgives us even before we ask, we, in turn, must release others from their debts to us. We must absolve them. We must let go and surrender the hurt, the pain and, especially, the sense of power that ' bearing a grudge can give us. And we must do this over and over again. Forgiveness Is a daily discipline. Only by releasing and forgiving others will we be able to grow. Only by passing on our Father's forgiveness to others will we ourselves be healed.
When you are finished, go back and recall the hurt associated with each name. Then let it go! Forgive that person. You might say something like: Through the forgiveness Christ has given me, I forgive and release N. You maywish to continue this exercise over a period of several days or weeks. Responding Relax and note any new sense of freedom you may now feel. Thank your Father for giving you his great gift of forgiveness.And ask for the power of the Spirit so that you can continue to forgive. Remembering ALday's end, look back and focus on any people that you need to forgive. With the power of the forgiving Christ within you, let go of the hurt and forgive each person. And don't forget to forgive yourself too! (You may wish to make this a nightly practice.)
