What does it mean for God to pray? More specifically, why would Jesus, who is God, feel the need to pray?
Clearly, it was not for want of confidence in His divine mission or powers. In last week’s Gospel we saw Him on His ‘first day at work’, attending the morning service and quickly taking charge of the synagogue (Mk 1:21-28). So authoritative was He that He could contradict some “traditions of the elders” and standard interpretations of the Bible, saying “you have heard it said of old…, but I say to you…”. When presented with conundrums Jesus didn’t need to seek wisdom: for He is Wisdom – ‘the Way and the Truth’ incarnate and always knew what to say.
