Our Father - A Call to Universal Brotherhood/Sisterhood


The greatest prayer taught by any man on earth is Our Father. 
It is taught by Jesus to his disciples when they asked him “Master teach us how to pray.”
            The first sentence of the prayer our father is, “Our Father in Heaven”. It first of all stresses that the whole human race whether the people in India, or Australia, or America or whatever kind or race, or caste, or beggars, or rich , or poor  and for that matter anybody on this earth has one father who looks after all the people with undivided love. That father is God Himself. Since, all the human beings have one father, we are all brothers and sisters.
            Then, why at all to live in the shelter of violence, discrimination, indifference, unconcern, apathy, opposition, oppression, inequity, intolerance, injustice against our own brothers and sisters. Is it because of difference in religion, nationality, language, culture, tribe, caste? Let the prayer “Our Father in Heaven”, may make human being to take shelter in the arms of peace, equality, liberty, fraternity, compassion, and love.
