✦ Synopsis

Our Father : "I will not leave you orphans" -- Who art in Heaven : fathers and the Our Father -- Hallowed be Thy name : participating with prayer in the work of salvation -- Thy Kingdom come : the Kingdom of God needs our participation -- Thy will be done on earth as it is in Heaven : Mary's total "yes" to the will of God -- Give us this day our daily bread : feed the hungry -- And forgive us our trespasses as we forgive those who trespass against us : training for giving and for forgiveness -- And lead us not into temptation : the foundation of our hope -- But deliver us from evil : the weeds amid the good wheat -- The Lord's Prayer : the prayer of grandparents is a treasure.;"In conversation with Father Marco Pozza, a theologian and prison chaplain in Padua, Italy, Pope Francis offers unprecedented insight into Jesus's most profound words, as he explores the importance of embracing social justice, benevolence, and forgiveness in our hearts and minds. Looking to address the concerns and hopes of today's men and women, [this book] is a guide to living a life full of meaning, purpose, and strength. 'We need courage to pray the Our Father, ' writes Pope Francis, 'to truly believe that God is the Father who accompanies us, forgives us, gives us bread, is attentive to all that we ask, clothes us even better than the flowers of the field. To believe is a big risk.' Challenging the doubt and fear that plague so many, he issues a call to 'dare ... help one another to dare.' With excerpts from some of the pontiff's most cherished teachings, this handsome keepsake edition published on the fifth anniversary of Pope Francis's election to the papacy, offers words of encouragement and inspiration for all who are seeking hope and direction in our often tumultuous world."--Jacket.
