At the four-minute mark, while listening, I heard Christ’s prayer in Aramaic. It gently and lovingly flowed into my soul.

Thanks to the Teacher, who taught us the Lord’s Prayer in Aramaic, I was able to make out the words of the prayer. There was also speech right at the beginning that resonated in my heart.

I listened to it for the first time today, and I really liked many parts. But I practically understood the very last one (or at least it seemed that way to me). It sounds very similar to my current native language. I listened to it many times—all the words are clear to me, and they still exist today. It’s absolutely fantastic.
