This is a collection of reflections on biblical passages and two short articles on how translation of the original Greek text is used in translating the Our Father or Lord's Prayer and Christ the Good Shepherd. There are over two hundred biblical reflections, many written during the covid-pandemic. While the authors are Catholic and references to Catholic teachings and the Fathers of the Church are abundant; this text offered to all men and women of faith, or those searching to make sense of life in their search for God in the Sacred Scriptures.
