Pozycja Chleba naszego powszedniego daj nam dzisiajRatzinger, Joseph (Wydawnictwo Pallottinum, 2017)The purpose of this article was to present the theology of the fourth request of the Lord’s Prayer. The fourth prayer, Our Father, seems to us the most „human” of all requests. The Lord, who directs our views on that, what is essential, on „the only necessary”, knows about our earthly needs and recognizes them. He, who tells his disciples, „do not worry about your life, what you will eat” (Matthew 6,25), invites us to pray for food for us and to entrust our concerns to God in this way. Bread is „fruit of the earth and work of human hands”, but the earth will not bear fruit if it does not receive the sun and rain coming from above. This interaction of cosmic forces, which is not in our hands, is opposed to the temptation of our pride to provide ourselves with our own strength. This pride is brutal and cold, and ultimately destroys the earth. It cannot be otherwise, because it defies the truth, according to which we humans are to transgress ourselves only by opening ourselves to God; only under this condition we can become great and free and actually be ourselves. We can and should ask.
