Spiritual Life, Fall 2000 by Jordan, Regis
Our Father: Reflections on the Lord's Prayer. By A. J. Cardinal Simonis. Grand Rapids, MI: Wm. B. Eerdmans, 1999. Pp. 125. Paper. $12.
In Our Father, the Archbishop of Utrecht reflects on the continuing power of the Lord's Prayer to enrich faith today. After exploring the meaning and purpose of prayer generally, Cardinal Simonis turns to the Lord's Prayer itself, carefully considering each of its petitions. Drawing often on the witness of Christian tradition for help in elucidating them, Cardinal Simonis also uses the various petitions as a springboard for reflecting on the nature of the Christian life as well as on issues ranging from sexual morality to economic accountability and ecological responsibility.
