Every family has traditions that connect us, reminding us who we are and where we come from. From cherished recipes to sacred prayers, these practices unite us and link us to a greater story.
In this video, we explore how traditions like the Shema in Jewish culture and the Maori haka shape identity and foster unity. And we consider the Lord's Prayer (also known as the "Our Father") a sacred tradition taught by Jesus Himself.
Far more than a memorized prayer, the Our Father is a shared language that spans generations, drawing us into the great story of God, His Church, and His love for the world.
What traditions, prayers, and songs remind you that you’re part of God’s family? Discover how the “Our Father” invites us to be part of something far greater than ourselves.
