The Lord’s prayer is our path to prayer. The prayer of the Lord Jesus in the Upper Room is traditionally called the priestly prayer of the Lord since it involved the sacrifice of himself for our salvation. The Catechism teaches: “Christian Tradition rightly calls this prayer the ‘priestly’ prayer of Jesus. By becoming a part of the Paschal Mystery, the High Priestly Prayer becomes our prayer. As we regularly pray the Our Father, so we are called to regularly live the High Priestly Prayer of the Lord.
