In this video, we break open the deeper meaning behind one of the most familiar lines in the Lord’s Prayer. At first glance, it seems like we’re just asking God for food…but the Church has always taught that it’s so much more.

- How this petition reflects both our physical and spiritual hunger

- What the Catechism says about the “super-essential” bread
