Our Father
The Lord's Prayer, given by Jesus himself
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.

History and meaning
Jesus teaches the Lord's Prayer in the Gospels of Matthew and Luke. It gathers praise, trust, daily need, forgiveness, and deliverance into a few lines. In the Rosary, an Our Father begins the introductory prayers and each of the five decades.
