Prayer

The most well known of all Christian prayers was given to us directly from Jesus: "He was praying in a certain place, and after he had finished, one of his disciples said to him, “Lord, teach us to pray, as John taught his disciples.”

Father, hallowedbe your name.
    Your kingdom come.
Give us each day our daily bread.
And forgive us our sins,
        for we ourselves forgive everyone indebted to us.
    And do not bring us to the time of trial.”

~Luke 11:1-4 ~

The Catechism of the Catholic Church provides an informed view of the origin and development of the Lord’s Prayer, while this editorial from the National Catholic Reporter reflects on recent comments made by Pope Francis and explores the deeper meaning behind each aspect of the prayer: What Am I saying when I say the Lord’s Prayer?
