Preface by Pope Francis
In this fifth of eight booklets on prayer, Msgr Antonio Pitta delves into the parables Jesus told his disciples to uncover the lessons they have to give on how to pray well. Specifically, he shows how the insights of the Parables of Prayer reveal the meaning of the Our Father, Jesus’s greatest catechesis on prayer.
‘Prayer reaches maturity when, through vigilance, it allows us to recognize the signs of the approaching Kingdom of God.’
