Thank you for the welcome !

The meditation on the Our Father by Dom Guillerand forever changed my perception of this great prayer. Most importantly, it became a source of contemplation.

I am presently working on a potential English translation of the Our Father sermons of Dom Guillerand.

I first learned of his writings from Fr. Stanislaus OCSO, a cloistered monk.

I enjoy reading posts from this website.

In Christ,

I once had the complete works of Dom Guillerand. The Benedictine Sisters of Priscilla, Rome made a limited edition of his entire works.

There are 5 french books available on Amazon that represent about 2/3 of his total works. This one (Prayer of the Presence of God) seems to correspond to "Face a Dieu": I did notice some differences so maybe the choice of texts are not the same.

"Face a Dieu" was the original without any alterations as far as I know.

"Vivantes Clartes" contains a wonderful commentary on the Pater Noster. He was writing it for the convers brothers of the "Grande Chartreuse" and gave conferences between 1942 and 1944 on the "Pater". Unfortunately he did not have the time to finish it and the last part of the commentary is for "hallowed be Thy Name". Nevertheless it remains one of the great commentaries on this prayer that was taught to us by Jesus Himself.

In Christ,
