Kris Foster, Director of Liturgy at St. Mark’s in Boise, explores the Lord’s Prayer—its deep Jewish roots of praise and petition, and how it has been prayed since New Testament times.

Listen to the Our Father in Greek

Liturgical music must be noble yet simple.

Mary Wax explains how the Church welcomes people with disabilities and how faith formation can be customized for them, showing the inclusivity of Catholic life.
