Lead Us Not Into Temptation

A discussion of "the Lord's Prayer," specifically the confusing passage: “Lead us not into temptation.” Fr Aaron offers a better translation from the Greek that helps us understand the meaning of this prayer. He also provided a better question for us as Christians to ask in times of trouble. To ask, not “Why this or why that?” but rather “What now?” Knowing why is often not possible or useful. Discerning “what now?"—what we can do to help make God present in this world of suffering—is of far more importance.
