Essential
The Our Father
The prayer Jesus himself taught his disciples — a perfect summary of the Gospel and the heart of Christian faith.
1 min read
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.
When to pray
Pray the Our Father upon waking, before sleep, before meals, and whenever you need to place your life before the Father. It is central to the Rosary and the Holy Mass.
