This short reflection on the Lord’s Prayer is based on a conversation between Pope Francis and Father Marco Pozza, a prison chaplain in Italy. In it Pope Francis discusses the importance of fatherhood in a “fatherless” society, as well as the importance of both forgiving and being forgiven. In Pope Francis’ usual style, he expounds on the beauty of the ever present, always loving Father, and gives hope and encouragement to those who dare to open up conversations in prayer.

"In conversation with Father Marco Pozza, a theologian and prison chaplain in Padua, Italy, Pope Francis offers unprecedented insight into Jesus's most profound words, as he explores the importance of embracing social justice, benevolence, and forgiveness in our hearts and minds. Looking to address the concerns and hopes of today's men and women, [this book] is a guide to living a life full of meaning, purpose, and strength. 'We need courage to pray the Our Father, ' writes Pope Francis, 'to truly believe that God is the Father who accompanies us, forgives us, gives us bread, is attentive to all that we ask, clothes us even better than the flowers of the field. To believe is a big risk.' Challenging the doubt and fear that plague so many, he issues a call to 'dare ... help one another to dare.' With excerpts from some of the pontiff's most cherished teachings, this handsome keepsake edition published on the fifth anniversary of Pope Francis's election to the papacy, offers words of encouragement and inspiration for all who are seeking hope and direction in our often tumultuous world."--Jacket.
