Our Father
Often Jesus was talking to the disciples about prayer. With great love, he said to them, "Ask and it will be given to you; seek and you will find. Knock and to you it will be opened. For all who ask receive and those who seek will find."
Day by day the good teacher gave an example to his beloved disciples. For Jesus prayed much. Often he prayed the whole night. A certain day, therefore, the disciples approached to Jesus and one of them said, "Lord, teach us to pray."
Jesus loved his disciples. To the teacher the disciples were as little children. And so, with great kindness, he said to them, "When you pray, say:
Our father who is in heaven,
Holy is your name,
Your kingdom is to come,
Your will is to be done,
Just as in Heaven, so on earth.
Our daily bread give to us,
And forgive to us our debts,
Just as we forgive our debtors,
And do not lead us into temptation,
But free us from evil. Amen."
