Summary

Through the Catechism, we learn more about the Lord’s Prayer and how it should be included in our personal prayers as well as in community during the liturgy of the Mass. In giving us the Our Father, Jesus models how we are to use this prayer to speak directly with the Father. Fr. Mike drives home that we receive the words to pray and also receive the Holy Spirit when saying this prayer. Together, the words and the Holy Spirit enable us to pray like Christ and become more like him. Today’s readings are Catechism paragraphs 2765-2772.

This episode has been found to be in conformity with the Catechism by the Institute on the Catechism, under the Subcommittee on the Catechism, USCCB.

0:09.3	where we encounter God's plan of sheer goodness for us revealed in scripture and passed down
0:13.6	through the tradition of the Catholic faith. The Catechism in a year is brought to you by

0:55.0	we will continue to talk about the Lord's Prayer until the last day of this year, until day
0:59.3	365. Today, though, we're talking about, what do we call this prayer? We call it the Lord's Prayer,
1:03.8	or Arraccio Dominica. It means that the prayer to our Father is taught and given to us by the Lord
1:09.5	Jesus. So this is the prayer that comes from Him. That's what we call it the Lord's prayer. We also call it the Our Father
1:13.3	because we're talking to the Father. But we realized that Jesus, when he gave us this prayer,
1:17.3	he didn't just give us a formula to repeat mechanically. He gave us, this is a prayer that gives us
1:22.5	access to the Father in this really mysterious and unique way. We're meant to pray, though, in spirit and in truth.
1:29.2	It's also, we're going to hear today, the prayer of the church.
1:32.6	And it belongs in the context, not only of your private prayer, my private prayer,
