CCC 2762
Christian Prayer›SECTION TWO THE LORD'S PRAYER›Article 1 "THE SUMMARY OF THE WHOLE GOSPEL"›I. At the Center of the Scriptures
After showing how the psalms are the principal food of Christian prayer and flow together in the petitions of the Our Father, St. Augustine concludes: Run through all the words of the holy prayers [in Scripture], and I do not think that you will find anything in them that is not contained and included in the Lord's Prayer.
