The Lord’s Prayer
The 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.

About This Prayer
The Our Father, also known as the Lord’s Prayer, is the most central and universally recited prayer in all of Christianity. When we speak of praying the Lord’s Prayer, we are entering into the very words that Jesus Christ taught His disciples when they asked Him how to pray (Matthew 6:9–13; Luke 11:2–4). Each line of the prayer is rich in meaning — from honoring God’s name and seeking His will, to requesting daily sustenance, forgiveness, and spiritual protection. It captures the heart of the Gospel and reflects the core teachings of trust, mercy, and divine providence. In the Catechism of the Catholic Church, paragraphs 2759–2865 offer a full meditation on its deep significance.
