We continue to work through the Lord's Prayer, which Jesus gave to his disciples who asked to learn how to pray, beginning with "Give us this day our daily bread." Fr Geoffrey and Fr Yuri explore how this traditionally Jewish theme (e.g. manna as daily bread, relying solely on God's provision) also points to the Christian practices of receiving Holy Eucharist, and participating in the Messianic age in the here and now, a foretaste of the life to come. Kind of like ordering a pumpkin spice latte at the end of summer. Seriously, listen for this analogy, it's a gem!

We also discuss the etymology, and Jewish stories and traditions that might advocate for certain translations of the Lord's Prayer: using "debts" vs "trespasses", "temptation" vs "trial", or "evil" vs "evil one".
