A devotional look at the Lord's Prayer. Michael Faber looks at each line of the Prayer our Lord taught us, interacting with real life examples, humor, scripture and the Catechism of the Catholic Church.

A devotional look at the Lord's Prayer. Michael Faber looks at each line of the Prayer our Lord taught us, interacting with real life examples, humor, scripture and the Catechism of the Catholic Church. How many of us have learned how to recite the Lord's Prayer as children? Perhaps we did this about the same time as we learned how to sing the National Anthem or other childhood prayers. It was something to be memorized, but probably not thought about, or even understood at that age. The question is, how many of us have thought about the Lord's Prayer, or understood it since? Jesus taught his disciples the Lord's Prayer in response to the request, teach us to pray. St. Thomas Aquinas wrote, "The Lord's Prayer is the most perfect of prayers… In it we ask, not only for all the things we can rightly desire, but also in the sequence that they should be desired." CCC 2763. We should take this prayer seriously as an important part of our Catholic Christian spirituality. Michael Faber has broken down the Lord's Prayer into six parts, writing a chapter on each part, in order to lead his readers into deeper understanding and meditation on the riches the Lord's Prayer. Join us as we explore the Lord's Prayer together through the pages of this devotional booklet!

In this edition, Mr. Faber takes what he published before as an evangelical and interacts with the riches of the Catholic Church as expressed in the Catechism of the Catholic Church to share once again from the Catholic perspective some of the riches contained in our favorite prayer. Mr. Faber's writings have also been translated into Vietnamese and Telugu, being distributed in both Vietnam and India. Mr. Faber would love to hear from you.
