“[Jesus] was praying in a certain place, and after he had finished, one of his disciples said to him, ‘Lord, teach us to pray, as John taught his disciples.’ So he said to them, ‘When you pray, say:
Father, may your name be revered as holy.
May your kingdom come.
Give us each day our daily bread.
And forgive us our sins,
for we ourselves forgive everyone indebted to us.
And do not bring us to the time of trial.’”
– Luke 11:1-4 (NRSVue)

If you memorized the Lord’s Prayer as a child, this may not be the version you learned. Pray each line of this version, taking time to pause between lines. Then, if you know the Lord’s Prayer by heart, pray it aloud from memory.
