|“This is how you are to pray: | |||
'Our Father in heaven, | |||
hallowed be your name, | |||
your kingdom come, | |||
your will be done, | |||
on earth as in heaven. | |||
Give us today our daily bread; | |||
and forgive us our debts, | |||
as we forgive our debtors; | |||
and do not subject us to the final test, | |||
but deliver us from the evil one.' | |||
If you forgive others their transgressions, your heavenly Father will forgive you. | |||
But if you do not forgive others, neither will your Father forgive your transgressions." | |||
|He said to them, “When you pray, say: | |||
'Father, hallowed be your name, | |||
your kingdom come. | |||
Give us each day our daily bread | |||
and forgive us our sins | |||
for we ourselves forgive everyone in debt to us, | |||
and do not subject us to the final test.'" | |||

== The Lord's instructions on how to pray == | |||
The Lord Jesus Christ gave us the prayer to be spoken thoughtfully and purposefully. In the Sermon on the Mount, he taught:<pre>“When you pray, do not be like the hypocrites, who love to stand and pray in the synagogues and on street corners so that others may see them. Amen, I say to you, they have received their reward. | |||
But when you pray, go to your inner room, close the door, and pray to your Father in secret. | |||
And your Father who sees in secret will repay you. In praying, do not babble like the pagans, who think that they will be heard because of their many words. | |||
Do not be like them. Your Father knows what you need before you ask him.[https://bible.usccb.org/bible/matthew/6:5 Mt 6:5-8])</pre> | |||
