The Our Father: Learning to Pray with Jesus
from Practicing Catholic · host Augustine Institute
We pray the Our Father so often that it can become easy to say the words without really hearing them. But this prayer, given to us by Jesus himself, is more than a familiar Catholic prayer—it is the perfect prayer, teaching us what to ask for and how to order our hearts toward God. In this episode of Practicing Catholic, Taylor Kemp and Dr. Scott Hefelfinger reflect on the depth of the Our Father, the gift of rote prayer, and how this simple prayer can shape our desires, strengthen us in distress, and lead us more deeply into trust, surrender, forgiveness, and communion with God.
