What book of the holy Fathers of the Church
does not resoundingly summon us
along the true way to reach the Creator?

Patristic Homilies for Sundays and Feastdays
These homilies of the Fathers of the Church may be used for fruitful meditation on the Sunday-Gospel (and Gospel of Feastdays). Besides the Homilies, the appropriate Gospel passages are given too.
Apostolic Fathers
The title Apostolic Fathers is given to people who in their lifetime knew the Apostles of Jesus Christ. Hence the importance and soundness of their doctrine lie in the fact that it can be directly linked to the teaching of the Apostles themselves.
Besides, through their writings we get a first hand picture of the situation and of the problems of the Church at the turn of the first Century of the Common Era.

The Lord’s Prayer (by St. Cyprian)
The commentary of St. Cyprian to the Lord’s prayer has been a Christian ‘classic’ from the time it was written, in the year 251. In this book, the bishop of Carthage (North Africa), besides commenting on the text of the prayer itself, several times highlights the ideas that, as a pastor, are his main concern: unity of the Church and concord among the faithful.
