The Our Father
Our Father,
Who art in heaven,
Hallowed be Thy Name.
Thy Kingdom come,
Thy Will be done,
On earth as it is in Heaven.
Give us this day,
our daily bread,
and forgive us our trespasses
as we forgive those
who trespass against us.
And lead us not into temptation,
but deliver us from evil.
Amen.
"The Lord's Prayer "is truly the summary of the whole
gospel." "Since the Lord...after handling over the practice
of prayer, said elsewhere, 'Ask and you will receive,' and
since everyone has petitions which are peculiar to his
circumstances, the regular and appropriate prayer (the
Lord's Prayer) is said first, as the foundation of further
desires."
