THE CATHOLIC PRAYER COLLECTION

Our Father

The prayer Jesus taught his disciples, bringing our praise, daily needs, and trust before the Father.

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,
sanctificétur nomen tuum;
advéniat regnum tuum;
fiat volúntas tua,
sicut in caelo et in terra.
Panem nostrum quotidiánum da nobis hódie;
et dimítte nobis débita nostra,
sicut et nos dimíttimus debitóribus nostris;
et ne nos indúcas in tentatiónem;
sed líbera nos a malo.
Amen.
