Interpretation by Karel Hoeberechts

OUR FATHER.

To the Creator, who belongs to us, because you gave yourself to us,
your sons and daughters.

You are alive and you exist in a place of great beauty. In a place you
have reserved for Yourself, your angels and all those who were chosen
by You.

We wish to praise and glorify the Name of You, our Lord, Giver of
Life. A Name we worship as Holy and we look upon that Name with the
deepest feelings of respect.

As we glorify and praise You, we wish to be welcomed in the house
where you reside as the head of the Holy Family of all Your disciples.

May we exercise our free will in all human interests with Your purpose
in mind and fulfill Your every desire just as it is done in heaven.

Provide us every day with all we need and be the source of the way we
live.

In addition, don't be angry at us. Give up all your claims to punish
us for our offenses, where we went beyond the limits of what is right
or moral.

Do this at the same time as we give up our vengeful feelings and
desires to punish others who have done us wrong.

Moreover, don't let the excitement of immoral or worldly pleasures
lead us away from You. On the contrary; rescue us from those
situations and from anything that is against Your Will.

So be it!
