On Earth as It Is in Heaven: The True Meaning of the Lord's Prayer | Fr. Elijah John Joseph

Delivered during the Vision of Mercy Mass at the Divine Mercy Shrine in Lower Chittering, Western Australia, Fr. Elijah John Joseph of Our Lady of Guadalupe shares a profound homily on the deepest reality of the Lord's Prayer. Preached on Sunday, 18 October 2026, this message challenges the complacency that can dull our most familiar prayers. Fr. Elijah draws upon the writings of Italian mystic and Servant of God, Luisa Piccarreta, to explain what it practically means to live "on earth as it is in heaven". He reveals how Christ invites us to unite every human action(every breath, step, and movement)with the Divine Will to sanctify our daily lives. The Vision of Mercy Mass also marked the solemn blessing of world-class ecclesiastical art for the Shrine, including six monumental stained-glass windows by Roberto Fasoli and a towering stone mosaic of Saint Michael the Archangel. URGENT: Save the Lord's Prayer in WA Parliament Fr. Elijah's urgent call for spiritual courage speaks directly to the current push to remove the historic recitation of the Lord's Prayer at the start of each sitting day in the Western Australian State Parliament. Retaining this prayer is a vital act of institutional humility and a daily reminder of divine accountability in lawmaking. Stand together in faith and action to defend our cultural and moral foundations.
