Our Father : reflections on the Lord's Prayer : a conversation with Marco Pozza
(Book)

"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."--Dust jacket.
