PostMissam |
This prayer is from the "Teaching of the Twelve Apostles", otherwise known as the Didache. The Didache is a second century document written in Jerusalem (ca 140 AD) and contains a summary of the catechesis of the Twelve Apostles. It was used in the early Church for the instruction of the catechumens and was highly valued as a source of instruction and inspiration in the early Church. Today it gives us important insight into the teachings and practices of the early Church
