The prayer Jesus taught His disciples, the Our Father is the most perfect of all prayers. It is prayed at every Mass and forms the foundation of the Holy Rosary.
English
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.
Latin (Pater Noster)
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.
Origin: Taught by Christ Himself (Matthew 6:9-13; Luke 11:2-4). St. Cyprian of Carthage (258) wrote an influential treatise on this prayer, urging Christians to pray "as God our Teacher has taught us."
