Commentary on the Lord's Prayer

Commentary on the Lord's Prayer

St. Thomas Aquinas (1225–1274) is perhaps the greatest theologian of the western Church, and while most of his works are well known, St. Thomas’ sermons that he preached in ordinary churches often get overlooked. This new translation of his sermons on the Lord’s Prayer exhibit his deep insights into theology but also his strength of expressing complicated concepts clearly and concisely. These sermons were given in the final years of his life—perhaps the last sermons he ever presented. They were not meant for universities or cathedral sacristies; they are for ordinary Christians seeking to grow in love and wisdom of God through prayer. These sermons will help open up the hidden wisdom of the Lord’s Prayer and guide the Christian into deeper communion with God the Father through Jesus Christ.
