The most recognizable prayer of all time is the“Our Father”, the great example that Jesus offers to His followers when asked how they should pray. According to the Gospel of Luke 11:1-4, it states, “Lord, teach us to pray just as John taught his disciples.” 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 Liturgical form of the Lord’s Prayer is taken from the Gospel of Matthew 6:9-13, the wording is slightly different from Luke’s version. Within the prayer there is the introduction, there are 7 petitions, and there is the doxology.

This prayer is offered at every Mass and is involved in most Catholic devotions. In it embodies all the necessities of life in which we are grateful.
