The Lord has given us many counsels and commandments to help us toward salvation. He has even given us a pattern of prayer, instructing us on how we are to pray. He has given us life, and with his accustomed generosity, he has also taught us how to pray. He has made it easy for us to be heard as we pray to the Father in the words taught us by the Son… What more effective prayer could we then make in the name of Christ than in the words of his own prayer?
–Saint Cyprian of Carthage (c. 200-258)
