Season 2, Episode 22 - The Catholic Files

Topic: 7 Petitions to the Lords Prayer (PART ONE) with Father Donnelly, Immaculate Conception Church, Madison, Ohio

Tune in to this week's episode of The Catholic Files with Fr. Donnelly as we continue our journey through the Catechism of the Catholic Church.

In this episode of The Catholic Files, Fr. Donnelly leads us into the heart of one of the most sacred prayers of our faith the Our Father. With pastoral wisdom and spiritual depth, he reflects on the Seven Petitions of the Lord's Prayer, revealing how each one draws us deeper into trust, surrender, and communion with God.

As Fr. Donnelly explains, these petitions are not merely words we recite, but a living prayer taught by Christ Himself, a blueprint for how to speak to the Father with humility, confidence, and love. From honoring God's holy name, to seeking His will, to asking for daily bread, mercy, and deliverance, each petition forms our hearts to desire what God desires. This episode invites us to slow down and pray the Our Father with renewed awareness, allowing the Holy Spirit to transform routine prayer into a profound encounter.

As we listen, we are reminded that every petition is both a plea and a promise shaping us as children of God and strengthening us to live the Gospel each day.

Our Father, who art in heaven, hallowed be thy name; thy kingdom come, thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven. Give us this day our daily bread, and forgive us our trespasses, as we forgive those who trespass against us; and lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil. Amen.
