Maurice preached these sermons between February and April 1848, while a revolution in France brought down a monarchy and unrest spread across Europe. “I wished in these Sermons,” he wrote, “to connect the Lord’s Prayer with the thoughts which are most likely to be occupying us at this time.”
Taking the prayer clause by clause, from “Our Father” to the closing doxology, he asks what it means to pray for the coming of God’s kingdom and the doing of His will while earthly kingdoms are falling, and how the study of passing events might make worship more real.
