St. Francis Meditates on the Our Father
"'Who art in heaven,' in the angels and saints enlightening them to knowledge, for you, O Lord, are light; inflaming them to love, for you, O Lord, are love; dwelling in them and filling them with blessedness, for you, O Lord, are the highest good, the eternal good from whom is all good and without whom there is no good . . . ." --St. Francis
"Who art in heaven".....when Jesus started his instructions to his disciples on how to pray to God, He began with emphasizing God's position as our Father in heaven. I looked up "heaven" in the concordance and it means everything "as opposed to the earth." Heaven was somewhere above the earth. It would be equivalent of what we now call the universe--where God could oversee all that was happening here on earth.
