Praying with Jesus and Mary: Our Father - Hail Mary

Leonardo Boff invites readers to enter into the experience of Jesus to share the meaning of the "Lord's Prayer" in a world of injustice. Here the "prayer that Jesus taught us" emerges as an urgent call for personal as well as social transformation, "on earth as it is in heaven."

In his reflections on the "Hail Mary," translated here for the first time, Boff offers a radical appreciation of Mary's role as partner and bearer of the Holy Spirit. The famous prayer in her honor leads us more deeply into the divine mystery embedded in the experience of women today.
