The Our Father, the Lord’s Prayer, is a request for Christ. As we examine this most famous prayer line by line, we see it’s all about Jesus. That He might come and have communion with us is precisely what we hope for when we cry out to “our Abba who art in heaven.”
Reading 1 – Genesis 18:20-32
Psalm – Psalms 138:1-8
Reading 2 – Colossians 2:12-14
Gospel – Luke 11:1-13
Thank you @BishopBarron and the entire team working on Evangelization & Catechesis for @USCCB. Excellent discussion. As someone who works in evangelization at the grassroots, I was encouraged watching the livestream. You are all supported by many prayers.
I just read @BishopBarron’s chapter on Biblical Interpretation and Theology in his book “Exploring Catholic Theology” and it’s super impressive. Looking forward to reading chapter 13: “Announcing the Lordship of Jesus Christ”. This is ressourcement at its best!
@BishopBarron I finished your book 'Catholicism: A journey to the heart of the faith', yesterday. Thankyou, it was very enlightening and interesting. Especially for a new Catholic like myself on the RCIA journey at the moment.
@dylandrego @BishopBarron has done tremendous work revitalizing the Catholic faith. I see/hear it in bible studies & KOC meetings & TMIY groups & on retreats. He has engaged men & women to rediscover the great intellectual tradition of the Church and take their spiritual life more seriously.
