The Lord's Prayer
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.
_Some traditions add:_
For thine is the kingdom, the power, and the glory, for ever and ever. Amen.

In Latin
Pater noster, qui es in caelis,
sanctificetur nomen tuum.
Adveniat regnum tuum.
Fiat voluntas tua, sicut in caelo et in terra.
Panem nostrum quotidianum da nobis hodie,
et dimitte nobis debita nostra,
sicut et nos dimittimus debitoribus nostris.
Et ne nos inducas in tentationem,
sed libera nos a malo. Amen.
About this prayer
The prayer Jesus taught his disciples (Matthew 6:9-13; Luke 11:2-4), prayed in every Christian tradition. This English form, with 'trespasses', has been said for centuries by Catholics and Anglicans. The closing doxology is found in some early manuscripts of Matthew and in the Didache; Protestants and Orthodox usually say it, and at the Catholic Mass it follows a short prayer by the priest.
