Our Father: A Biblical Meditation on the Lord's Prayer

This original and imaginative treatment of the Our Father plumbs the scriptural depths of this prayer, so beloved of Christians. The Biblical meditation of each chapter is further enriched by introductory pages presenting the author's reflections and explanations, drawing on the treasures of the Church's patrimony: her liturgy, the Fathers of the Church, popes and saints. This is authentic spirituality, deeply rooted in the word of God: living and life-giving, nourishment for heart and soul, enlightenment for the mind. Taste and see! ‘Simply and lucidly written - demanding, encouraging and illuminating.’ Kitty Turley, The Tablet ‘Sister Claire draws upon treasures old and new. . . There is discernment, experience and gentle wit in these reflections.’ Dom Luke Bell ‘An excellent gift for someone enquiring into the Faith or for a Confirmation candidate.’ Julia Jones, Mass of Ages Sister Claire Waddelove is following in a fine tradition of commentary on the Our Father, including some of the greatest saints.'
