To hallow begins with acknowledgment and moves to veneration. We must acknowledge Our Uncreated Father’s Divine Presence in his abode of Heaven which is, as we have said, everywhere. Acknowledge Him burning in the stars, roaring through rivers, singing joyfully through the birds.
Let this acknowledgment turn to wonder and amazement at the beauty of it all, and realize that you are an inseparable part of it! You are as beautiful and necessary as the sunrise and sunset. You are just as much a function of this whole universe as the falls of Niagara.
Acknowledge and venerate the Presence of the Holy Eternal One that dwells within you with just as much Power there as there is at any point in the Universe. It is THAT which lives within you and without you. Its power pumps your heart, energizes your brain, sees through your eyes, hears through your ears, and opens your mouth to speak.
This is hallowing the Name of God, not putting on airs of solemnity and false piousness devoid of all natural goodness and joy, which is simply putting on a show of spirituality in order to deceive others and exalt ones sense of personal superiority.
