The Infallible Prayer is "Thy will, not mine, be done."
Mary prayed this way
"Be it done unto me according to thy word" (Lk 1:38).
Mary recommended obedience
"Do whatever he tells you" (Jn 2:5).
Jesus taught us to pray this way
The Lord's Prayer
"Thy Kingdom come, Thy will be done, on earth as it is in Heaven" (Mt 6:10).
Building on Rock
Jesus said to his disciples:
“Not everyone who says to me, ‘Lord, Lord,’
will enter the kingdom of heaven,
but only the one who does the will of my Father in heaven.
Many will say to me on that day,
‘Lord, Lord, did we not prophesy in your name?
Did we not drive out demons in your name?
Did we not do mighty deeds in your name?’
Then I will declare to them solemnly,
‘I never knew you. Depart from me, you evildoers.’
“Everyone who listens to these words of mine and acts on them
will be like a wise man who built his house on rock.
The rain fell, the floods came,
and the winds blew and buffeted the house.
But it did not collapse; it had been set solidly on rock.
And everyone who listens to these words of mine
but does not act on them
will be like a fool who built his house on sand.
The rain fell, the floods came,
and the winds blew and buffeted the house.
And it collapsed and was completely ruined.â€
Jesus prayed this way
"My Father, if it is possible, let this cup pass from me; yet, not as I will, but as you will" (Mt 26:39).
