In the gospel according to Matthew, Jesus teaches his followers how to pray using what we now know as The Lord's Prayer. As Christians, most of us would claim this prayer as quintessentially Christian, however we will find that it is also quintessentially Jewish in nature. Again, we see how Jesus, far from rejecting his tradition, lived and taught in fulfillment of it.

In this episode, Fr Geoffrey and Fr Yuri begin to discuss each clause and its deep connection with Jewish tradition, and how its themes ought to inform what it is we bring to prayer, both communal and personal.

Come back next week for part two! In the meantime, we would love to hear your thoughts in the comment section below.
