The Catholic Our Father Prayer
The Our Father Prayer is the actual way Our Lord taught the Apostles how to pray.
It is known as the perfect prayer because it was taught by Jesus as the way to pray to Our Father in heaven. It contains 7 petitions and covers basically any petition we would pray for in any other prayer. In it we pray for the glory of God the Father, spiritual and material well being and also for others. The Our Father is a prayer of perfect and unselfish love, of praise, petition and contrition. 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.
