During Advent on Wednesday evenings at 7pm & Fridays after Mass at 12:45pm we will have a short series of talks on the Our Father by Scott Hahn in the Haydock Centre.
The sessions will consist of a short video of around 30 minutes and then a time for discussion afterwards.
Some people say that the Lord’s Prayer is prayed too much. In this original series, Dr. Scott Hahn suggests that the real difficulty is that we ponder it too little. The more we ponder it, the better— and more often—we’ll pray it.
The Lord’s Prayer reflects Jesus’ deepest preoccupation while on earth: talking with His Father. Dr. Hahn moves smoothly from there to Christ’s second-deepest preoccupation during His earthly ministry: making His Father our Father, too—thus enabling us to share in intimate, constant, and habitual conversations with Our Heavenly Father.
Without a doubt, the Lord’s Prayer is more than a sudden burst of inspiration on Jesus’s part. It’s a long-awaited gift.
