The phrase is not "hallowed IS Your name," but "hallowed BE Your name." Not a statement (which IS true), but a desire, the prayer of our heart. Our prayer is that He be praised, exalted, and set apart, not just by His name, but by everything in which He reveals Himself, by all by which He is known to us; not only by others, but, above all, by ourselves.
Many thanks for your post, good breakdown. Perhaps you might be interested in this version of the Lord's prayer which I did on my WordPress site. It's a bit different!
I have often felt detached while reciting the Lord's Prayer over and over like we were instructed in church. often times I just talk to God, as if he were present sharing my fears joys and struggles, asking for insight and help knowing his truth. I agree the repetition must drive him crazy.. unless he perceives it like music like the beating of our heart or our regular breathing, even this to me is a mystery. I struggle to know where I fit in all this. but I continue searching. and every so often some insight comes forward in the silence of my contemplation in prayer.
Really hits the nail! Great conclusion calling us to turn the Lord’s Prayer into a conversation with the God of the universe. We often forget the listening part!
Excellent counsel. Are you familiar with Simone Weil’s “Concerning the Our Father,” the last chapter of her Waiting For God? As you may know, Weil anticipates much of your interpretation.
May we be still and know the duality of our mind redeemed in the singularity of your Love, eternally. May we stop eating the fruit of the tree of knowledge of Good and evil and realize once again where we are on earth is perfected in the timeless truth, as one is in heaven, indivisibly and ineffably.
Bestower of our blessed home, hallowed at heart throughout, thy image and will be clear, shared and present, so, eternally we know who and where we are and we share your glory in compassion, as our way and our truth and our life, forever and ever amen.
Psalm 51: 10-12 10 Create in me a clean heart, O God; and renew a right spirit within me. 11 Cast me not away from thy presence; and take not thy holy spirit from me. 12 Restore unto me the joy of thy salvation; and uphold me with thy free spirit.
It is not easy in these days of transmission into a phase preceding a New Age for the free thinker ever curious in the Quest, in which we are all committed although not always conscious of it.
So it is, in the inscrutable plans of Creation for all.

I heard about the lords prayer in Aramaic for the first time last week at the celebration of my sister-in -law's life Friday March 3 2023.
Most grateful
Those are statements of belief and faith in what other humans have said or written. The Creator has nothing to do with the anthropomorphized gods created by humans. https://www.asifthinkingmatters.com/solving-the-big-questions-third-edition/category/religion

Excellent overview. Really hits the nail! Love your conclusion calling plus into an ongoing conversation with the God of the universe!
Simple but profound. What a fantastic article. Thank you!

Superb advice thank you x
Thank you for the soul sanctifying nutrition gleaned from reading and listening.
I listened and here is God's Answer: share the love that you are, my Beloved disciple and be a blessing to All Nations as a cosmos that is a universe.

I find strength praying this prayer.

It is helpful to know some things and to share.
