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.
Taught by Christ himself to his apostles, the Our Father is the quintessential Christian prayer. At Lourdes, it punctuates every decade of the rosary, uniting pilgrims of all languages in the same divine sonship.
