511 THE LORD'S PRAYER

AVE MARIA
YOUCAT Lesson 511

YOUCAT the catechism for Catholic youth
Part Four – How We Should Pray
Section Two – The Lord’s Prayer: The Our Father

511  What are the words of the Our Father?

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.  For thine is the kingdom and the power and the glory forever.  Amen.

In Latin:  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.  Quia tuum est regnum, et potestas, et gloria in saecula.  Amen.


The Lord’s Prayer painted by James Tissot.  It is in the Brooklyn Museum. …..510

The Our Father is the only prayer that Jesus himself taught his disciples (Matthew 6:9-13; Luke 11:2-4).  That is why the Our Father is also called “the Lord’s Prayer”.  Christians of all Christian denominations pray it daily, both in the liturgy and privately.  The conclusion, “For thine is the kingdom…” is mentioned in the Didache (Teaching of the Twelve Apostles) as early as A.D. 150 and so it can be added to the Our Father.
