We pray through the Fifth Sunday in Lent and then slow down to rediscover the Our Father as the perfect prayer taught by Jesus. Using Saint Augustine’s commentary, we test whether our familiar words still carry attention, love, and real desire for God. 
• the Our Father as the complete pattern of Christian prayer 
• Saint Augustine’s explanation of each petition from hallowing God’s name to deliverance from evil 
• daily bread as both present needs and sacramental life ordered to eternity 
• forgiveness and forgiving as a matched request and responsibility 
• temptation and evil as reasons to ask for God’s help with humility 
• questions to examine whether familiar prayers have become automatic 
If you found this time of prayer and reflection fruitful and would like more opportunities to grow in your faith in this land, consider joining the Cristeros and purchasing our Lenten Reflection booklet is now available on Amazon.com.
