The
Lord’s Prayer is the only prayer that Jesus specifically taught to
his followers. Therefore it is important, in addition to praying it,
to understand what it says and means. To shed light on this task, the
present book presents a series of essays by Catholic saints and
mystics, in which the words and phrases of the prayer are discussed
and explained, with varying points of view. This
short prayer is composed of a number of separate petitions, and they
usually are enumerated as seven. The saintly commentators delve into
the many possible interpretations and meanings of these petitions,
whether it be a spiritual explanation or a more material and worldly
one. In addition to the saints, the revelations to the mystics Luisa
Piccarreta and Maria Valtorta contain in-depth teachings from Jesus
Himself on the many dimensions of this prayer to His Father.
Remember
to keep praying the Lords Prayer, you can never pray it too much.
