Interpretation of the main prayer

Description
Book Introduction
First Steps in the Catholic Faith
We will be your friendly guide for your religious life.
Prayer is often described as a conversation between God and man.
Through prayer, we meet God, talk to Him, and draw closer to Him.
The Catholic Church has a variety of prayers, and we encounter them during Mass and at the beginning of our prayers, etc.
The first prayer that catechumens who are taking their first steps into the Catholic faith encounter is the 'Main Prayer'.
The importance of the 'main prayers' is so great that one cannot pass through the doors of Catholicism without going through the main prayers.
However, in the rush to memorize these prayers, which are the most basic things to know and memorize, it is easy to overlook their meaning and significance.
A book that allows you to encounter the main prayers in a more easy and in-depth way has been published by Catholic Publishing House (CEO: Father Dae-young Kim Didaco).
This is the 『Interpretation of the Main Prayer』.
This book has been steadily selling since its publication in 1961, and is the work of Father Park Do-sik, who has published bestsellers such as “What Are These People Doing?”, “Catholicism and Protestantism”, and “Dictionary of Catholic Doctrine” with a sales volume of around 300,000 copies, and is famous for explaining doctrine in an easy-to-understand way.
In particular, this revised edition revised the prayer text based on the 'Main Prayers and Ordinary of Mass' revised in 2018 and refined the sentences to fit the modern style.

Into the book
We must pray in this way sometimes.
Just as we become closer through frequent contact and conversation, we must deepen our fellowship with Almighty God, who can give us everything, through frequent contact.
Above all, even if it's just for the sake of my own weakness, it's only natural that I should go to God, open my heart wide, tell Him everything without hiding anything, and receive help.
Moreover, since God has encouraged us to pray and even created a prayer for us, we should become people who know how to pray.
---From the "Preface"
The “universal church” refers to the Catholic Church that can be believed in by all people in the world, whether Western or Eastern.
We believe that the Catholic Church is a holy church because it was established by the holy God, and that since God is also the Father of all people, this church is a universal church in which all people must believe.
---From the Apostles' Creed
We do not believe in God because we understand all of His doctrines, nor because they suit our tastes.
Only God, who cannot lie and is truthful, bows down before the authority of His truth.
This is faith.
---From "Shin Deok-song"
The life we have received and everything in this world we enjoy are given by God.
Even the fact that we live today is all by God's grace.
The food we ate today is necessary for new life, and we should be thankful for all that the Lord has given us.
The Apostle Paul said:
“Whatever you do, in word or deed, do everything in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God the Father through him.” (Col 3:17)
---From "Prayer After Meal"
The purpose of our creation is to act according to the Lord's will and truly possess the Lord's eternal kingdom.
Since our entire being belongs to the Lord, we must live according to His teachings.
The Bible says that the most precious commandments are to love the Lord and to love people.
So, in order to reflect on the Lord's precious will in our morning prayers, we begin with the prayer, "Serve the Lord and help people."

Publisher's Review
Easy to understand and friendly for everyone,
A book that will strengthen the foundation of your faith
Although many different types of prayer books have been published over the years, there has been no book that provides a detailed explanation of the main prayers that are central to the Catholic faith.
Books that deal with prayers can easily become difficult or rigid if you delve too deeply into them.
However, this book helps you easily access the main prayers.
It explains the origin and meaning of prayers, including the Lord's Prayer, starting with the Holy Scriptures, and interprets each phrase of the prayers.
But it doesn't stop there; it also goes into great detail about how to pray based on that.
Additionally, it explains in detail why we should offer this prayer and what attitude we should have when praying the relevant verses of the prayer.
In particular, guidance is provided to ensure that you can receive practical help with prayers that are frequently recited in daily life, such as confession or the rosary.
The Rosary prayer also provides a detailed explanation of the Bible verses for each decade so that one can meditate on the mysteries of each decade, and at the end, a prayer to the Virgin Mary is inserted so that one can pray the Rosary, the culmination of devotion to the Virgin Mary, more deeply.
It also helps catechumens to reflect with a calm mind on the sacrament of confession, which they find most difficult and unfamiliar.
In addition to how to offer the sacrament of confession, it also kindly tells you what kind of mindset you should have when reflecting before confession.
Therefore, as you read this book, you will find clear answers to the questions that prospective believers may have while praying.
A 'Main Prayer' that is both deep and broad
Because it is explained in such an easy and detailed way, it allows anyone to approach the Catholic faith without any burden.
However, this book is not only for prospective believers.
Baptized believers can also gain new strength in their religious life by reflecting on the meaning and significance of the prayer.
Because we already know and are accustomed to it, it is difficult to meditate on the meaning and significance of prayer.
It is not easy to know the meaning of all the prayers, but the joy you feel when you pray them knowing their meaning and significance will be greater.
I hope that through this book, you will encounter God who dwells in prayer and that this will be a small step forward on your journey to Him.
It is impossible to understand the meaning of all Catholic prayers.
But if we don't understand the meaning of even the simple prayers we offer daily, what will become of those prayers we offer without understanding? If we compare those who offer prayers knowing the meaning to those who offer them without, isn't it obvious that the depth and results of their prayers will differ?
