Join us on Tuesday, November 15 at 7:30 p.m. in the UP Bookstore for readings with Fr. Pat Hannon, CSC, from his new book, Such Dizzy Natural Happiness: A Long, Loving Look at the Lord’s Prayer. Aimed at Christians and all people of good will, especially the young and the young-at-heart, he takes each phase of the only prayer Jesus ever taught his disciples and brakes it open in new and unexpected ways through entertaining stories, insightful observations, and disarming engagement with a variety of thinkers, poets, and writers.
