OUR FATHER
insuperable in creation,
sweet in love,
rich in every heritage!
WHO ART IN HEAVEN
a mirror of eternity,
the crown of joy,
the treasure of eternal salvation!
HALLOWED BE THY NAME
that it be like honey upon the tongue,
a harp unto our ears,
a devotion in our hearts!
THY KINGDOM COME,
joyfully, without perversion;
quietly, without sorrow;
safely, beyond possibility to lose it!
THY WILL BE DONE ON EARTH AS IT IS IN HEAVEN,
that we hate whatever displeases Thee;
love what Thou lovest;
and fulfill all things that are pleasing to Thee!
GIVE US THIS DAY OUR DIALY BREAD,
the bread of
- knowledge,
- penitence,
- pardon
- And every need of bodies.
FORGIVE US OUR TRESPASSES, AS WE FORGIVE THOSE WHO TRESPASS AGAINST US;
forgive us our trespasses against Thee,
against our fellow-men and against ourselves,
which we have multiplied either through the commission of wrongs or
the omission to do the good we ought to do,
As we forgive all who have despised or offended us –
- by word or deed,
- by giving or taking away from us,
- spiritually or temporally.
AND LEAD US NOT INTO TEMPTATION,
of the world,
the flesh,
or the devil:
BUT DELIVER US FROM EVIL,
both temporal and spiritual,
and from all sorrows in time and eternity.
AMEN.
