Two girls, likely sisters, kneel next to each other at a bed, praying. There are blankets folded up at the head of the bed. Behind them is a wardrobe.
Hili ʻenau fanongo ki he lotu ʻa Sīsuú, “naʻe pehē ʻe ha taha ʻo ʻene kau ākongá kiate ia, ʻEiki, akonakiʻi ʻa kimautolu ke lotu” (Luke 11:1). Naʻe tali ʻe Sīsū ʻaki ha ngaahi akonaki mahino ʻe lava ʻo tokoni ke fakamālohia ʻetau fetuʻutaki mo e Tamai Hēvaní ʻi he lotú. ʻE lava ke tokoni atu e lēsoni ko ʻení ke toe mahuʻingamālie ange ai hoʻo lotú.
ʻOku akoʻi ʻe he ʻEikí fekauʻaki mo e lotú
Fakakaukau ki he tali ki he ongo fehuʻi ko ʻení:

ʻE lava pē ke faingofua mo fakahangatonu ʻa e lotú, ka ʻoku loloto mo lahi foki. ʻI hoʻo ako meí he ngaahi akonaki ʻa e Fakamoʻuí fekauʻaki mo e lotú, fekumi ki ha fakahā ki he founga te ke lava ai ʻo ʻai hoʻo ngaahi lotú ke mahuʻingamālie angé.Lau ʻa e Luke 11:1, ʻo kumi ki he kole naʻe fai ʻe ha taha ʻo e kau ākonga ʻa e Fakamoʻuí kiate Iá.
Naʻe tali ʻe Sīsū ʻaki e meʻa ʻoku ʻiloa ko e Lotu ʻa e ʻEikí. Naʻá Ne fai foki ʻa e lotu ko ʻení lolotonga ʻa e Malanga ʻi he Moʻungá (vakai Mātiu 6:9–13)). Kuo ongoʻi ʻe ha niʻihi naʻe fakataumuʻa ʻa Sīsū ke ako maʻuloto mo toutou fakahoko ʻa e lotu ko ʻení. Kae hangē ko e lea ʻa Palesiteni Lāsolo M. ʻOku hoko e lotu ʻa e ʻEikí ko ha sīpinga ke muimui ki ai kae ʻikai ko ha konga lea pē ke ako maʻuloto mo toutou lau” (“Ngaahi Lēsoni meí he Ngaahi Lotu ʻa e ʻEikí,” Ensign pe Liahona, Mē 2009, 46). Hili hono fai ʻe Sīsū e Lotu ʻa e ʻEikí ko ha sīpinga ʻo e founga ʻo e lotú, naʻá Ne fai ha ngaahi akonaki fakalaumālie kehe fekauʻaki mo e lotú.

“Fakamolemoleʻi ʻemau angahalá; he ʻoku mau fakamolemole foki ʻa kinautolu kotoa pē ʻoku moʻua mai kiate kimautolú” ( Luke 11:4).

ʻEkitivitī E: Ko e hā naʻe talaʻofa ʻe he Fakamoʻuí fekauʻaki mo e lotú? ( Luke 11:9–13)
‘I hono lēkooti ‘ia Luke 11:9, naʻe tala’ofa ʻa e ʻEikí, “Kole, pea ʻe foaki kiate kimoutolu; kumi, pea te mou ʻilo; tukituki, pea ʻe toʻo kiate kimoutolu.”

Naʻe fakafehoanaki leva ʻe Sīsū ʻa e holi ʻa e tamai fakamatelié ke foaki ha ngaahi meʻaʻofa ki heʻene fānaú ki he finangalo ʻa e Tamai Hēvaní ke foaki mai ha ngaahi meʻaʻofa kiate kitautolú.

Fakakau ʻa e founga ʻe ala tokoni ai hono manatuʻi ʻoku tali ʻe he ʻOtuá ʻa e ngaahi lotú ke toe mahuʻingamālie ange ai hoʻo lotu lolotongá.
