Matthew 6:7-15


So, praying, do not babble as the pagans do,
for they suppose that by their many words they will be heard. 

So do not be like them.

For your Father knows what you need
before you ask him. 

So in this way  you pray:

Our Father in the heavens,
Let your name be treated as holy,
Let your kingdom come,
Let your will take place. 
as in heaven, so on earth.

The bread we are going to need 
give to us this very day.

And forgive us our debts,
as also we forgive our debtors.

and let us not enter into a time of testing
but rescue us from the evil one. 


For if you forgive people  their wrongdoings,
Your heavenly Father will also forgive your wrongdoings.

Teach us, good Lord,
to serve thee as thou deservest;
to give and not to count the cost;
to fight and not to heed the wounds;
to toil and not to seek for rest;
to labour and not to ask for any reward,
save that of knowing that we do thy will,
through Jesus Christ our Lord.
Amen

St Ignatius
