What reading level is The Lords Prayer Seven Homilies book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
" Shall we use these words literally, or shall we give them a spiritual signification ? Is it food for our bodies or for our souls, or both, that we ask for in these words ? I incline to the opinion held by the majority of expositors that the petition is to be taken in the plainest sense ; that it asks for a sup- ply of food for our bodies. This is indeed one of the primary necessities. Light and air God gives us freely ; after these indis- pensables food comes next in order of im- 108 THE LORD...'S PEA YE R. Portance ; and this is not, ordinarily, made ready to our hand in nature. Some labor is necessary to procure it, some care to hus- band it ; it becomes an object of thought and desire as light and air do not ; and therefore it is something to be prayed for. Our Lord teaches us to pray for it; and in this petition we have a clear warrant for praying for temporal mercies. Surely if it is lawful to pray for a thing as common as daily bread, it is lawful to pray for any- thing we need. We may not see how God can give us these gifts we ask for without working a miracle, but that is no reason why we should refuse to ask for them ; he is able to do for us exceeding abundantly above all that we ever ask or think.
