The prayer given us by Jesus is the perfect and complete prayer, and more. It is the standard and norm for all our prayers and our life of prayer, and still more. The prayer, the Our Father, prayed and lived in the Holy Spirit, guides us step by step in the journey to Life. The Our Father leads us from our very beginning, first awakened as Christians, to the summit of the maturity of Christian discipleship - blessed communion in God the Holy Trinity.We need such a prayer, because we need to truly meet with God.This prayer is simple enough for a child and yet deep, intense and profound enough for a saint. It is easily kept in memory! Yet it cannot be exhausted of its meaning and significance to us in a million lifetimes. The Our Father deserves a lifetime of meditation and it bears fruit for those willing to be open to its wisdom. The Our Father reveals, in its brief form, correspondence with the holy wisdom of traditional Catholic spirituality. This traditional spirituality has been followed for centuries in the Church by her saints, and is known as the "Three Ways" - the Purgative, the Illuminative and the Unitive stages of the interior life. The spiritual insights of Teresa of Avila, John of the Cross, Bernard of Clairvaux, and many other saints are found enclosed in this simple prayer. The structure of the Our Father is seen to correspond with the structure of our Holy Mass - the very "source and summit of the Christian life." The Our Father reveals the will and the work of God in us - and as His divine work, inviting us to a saving participation and cooperation with Him, it is rightly called "a liturgy" - an Interior Liturgy at work in the soul.Dr. Thomas Richard also authored the book The Ordinary Path to Holiness (Alba House). Together with his wife he offers presentations and retreats to parishes having the desire and intention for renewal.REVIEW: Thomas, I can now finally tell you my opinions ... about your beautiful book.My reading confirmed my first feeling, that you manage to give a full picture of Christian life, with a very useful concern for the daily life of common Christians - this shared preoccupation was in fact the reason of our first contact. I actually think you propose a complete spiritual voyage, taking into account the main moments of every personal configuration to Christ. I'm really glad to know that your apostolic activity may diffuse those ideals, at the same time wide and practical. I'm discovering the strength and vitality of Catholicism in America, so many personal and collective activities, faithful to God and His Church, and I'm thankful to have been able to know your apostolate and your book.Many praises, you will say, but it is how I feel. ....

Laurent TouzeTheologian, Lecturer in Spiritual TheologyPontifical University of the Holy CrossRomeREVIEW: Drawing from St. Thomas Aquinas, St. John of the Cross and St. Teresa of Avila, Dr. R. Thomas Richard provides a banquet of doctrinal insights for the spiritual life in The Interior Liturgy of the Our Father. He presents a glimpse of what God is about in the depths of the soul, what he calls the interior liturgy, through synthesizing the petitions of the Lord's Prayer, the structure of the Mass, and the traditional stages of spiritual growth. In addition to this, he sprinkles his work with practical spiritual exercises so that readers have an opportunity to internalize the truths he elucidates.

catholic: I recommend reading The Ordinary Path to Holiness first, and then reading The Intererior Liturgy of the Our Father. The author's first book is more basic; and the second book, in some ways builds on the first. Either book, however, can be read with great profit independently of the other. I have read both books more than once and found something new to ponder each time. Both are excellent.… (plus d'informations)

You will never pray the Our Father again in the same way - not after reading this book!
If someone offered you a map, showing the safest, most direct route to the very place you most needed to go - would you be interested? The simple and very familiar prayer, the Our Father, shows us that route. The Our Father is the very pathway in prayer to holiness, a guide to the Presence of the eternal and loving God, to the One who is Truth.
The Our Father is probably the most poorly prayed of prayers, while in truth it is the most profound and beautiful of prayers. The Our Father is complete; it is the perfect prayer. It is from God, who would gather and guide us into loving prayer-communion with Himself.
We are too familiar with this prayer! We have prayed it too often, for too many years, with far too little attention or real personal investment. But the Our Father quietly invites us into a full, deep and most intimate encounter with God the Holy Trinity. The Our Father glows; it is luminous with the humble unction of Christ Himself. He gave us this treasure! When teaching His Church to pray, He said, "Pray then like this, 'Our Father, who art in heaven....'"
Have we overlooked this gift of great value because it has been too close, too common? Far more than a prayer among prayers, the Our Father is the norm and standard for our whole life of prayer. The norm is not to judge us, but rather, to guide us. The Our Father is the guide, brief though it is, to the entire spiritual journey of our return to God.
This is not a prayer for the self-centered, or the individualistic! The Our Father gathers us personally into the communion of prayer, the highest of prayers, the Holy Liturgy of the Mass. This prayer, rightly prayed, aligns our personal interior life with the worship and prayer and the life of the Church. ( )
The Interior Liturgy of the Our Father is almost incredible: there is so much that is uncovered in the simple prayer, the "Our Father", that one is left in awe. When Jesus said, "Pray then in this way,..." He was giving us so much more than most of us ever see or hear in this profound prayer. Prayer itself is much more than mere petition - and in this book, layer after layer of meaning and purpose is unfolded that one can only add the prayer of gratitude to the Lord for this wonderful gift of the Our Father.
