About this sermon
Jesus Christ left us only one prayer, commonly referred to as the Lord’s Prayer. When his disciples asked, “Lord, teach us to pray,” he responded with words that have been spoken by believers for two thousand years. This prayer—so short, so seemingly simple—offers nothing less than the very heart of the Christian faith. Yet it is not easily grasped. Its meaning is inexhaustible, always new, always personal. It speaks uniquely to each of us, and yet remains unchanging and eternal. In these talks, Father Alexander Schmemann shares his insightful commentary, exploring the depth, meaning, and often-misunderstood power of the only prayer Christ himself gave us.
