The Didache, or "Teaching of the Twelve Apostles," is an early Christian text offering instructions on Christian life and practice. It's believed to have been written in the 1st or 2nd century AD. The Didache provides guidance on baptism, Eucharist, and moral conduct. It emphasizes ethical behavior, including instructions on fasting and prayer. Its significance lies in its glimpse into the early church's practices and beliefs.
Diving into the Lord’s Prayer, we look at the origin, meaning, and significance of this prayer. The Catechism reveals the Our Father as “the summary of the whole Gospel” as it includes all that we believe. Fr. Mike helps us understand that this prayer focuses our hearts on the Father and prioritizes our desires. As we begin this prayer in the Father’s name, we know who we are addressing, and we know we can trust the Lord as our Father. Today’s readings are Catechism paragraphs 2759-2764.
This episode has been found to be in conformity with the Catechism by the Institute on the Catechism, under the Subcommittee on the Catechism, USCCB.
