"In these pages, St. Thomas Aquinas gives you the help that you need to pray more attentively and to become a better Christian. He emplys more than six hundred Scriptural references to illuminate the Lord's Prayer, the Hail Mary and the Apostles' Creed. St. Thomas' clear, simple, phrase-by-phrase explanations of the three greatest of all Christian prayers reveal their relations to Scripture, to the sacraments, to the Church, to the moral law, and to salvation history. As you read these pages, you will discover how our familiar, daily prayers are far richer than we realize: indeed, they embody the very substance of our Christian faith. " [Book jacket].
