Prayer Inspired by the Our Father




A Prayer Inspired by the Our Father



Our Father most holy: Our Creator, Redeemer,

Consoler, and Saviour:
Who are in heaven: In the angels and the saints,
enlightening them to know, for You, Lord, are light;
inflaming them to love, for You, Lord, are love; dwelling
in them and filling them with happiness, for You, Lord,
are Supreme Good, the Eternal Good, from Whom all
good comes without Whom there is no good.
Holy be Your Name: May knowledge of You become clearer
in us that we may know the breadth of Your blessings, the
length of Your promises, the height of Your majesty, the
depth of Your judgments.
Your kingdom come: That You may rule in us through Your
grace and enable us to come to Your kingdom where
there is clear vision of You, perfect love of You, blessed
companionship with You, eternal enjoyment of You.
Your will be done on earth as in heaven: That we may love
You with our whole heart by always thinking of You,
with our whole soul by always desiring You, with our
whole mind by always directing all our intentions to
You, and by seeking Your glory in everything, with all
our whole strength by exerting all our energies and
affections of body and soul in the service of Your love
and of nothing else; and we may love our neighbour
as ourselves by drawing them all to Your love with our
whole strength, by rejoicing in the good of others as in
our own, by suffering with others at their misfortunes,
and by giving offence to no one.
Give us this day: in remembrance, understanding, and
reverence of that love which [our Lord Jesus Christ]
had for us and of those things that He said and did and
suffered for us.
Our daily Bread: Your own beloved Son, our Lord Jesus
Christ.
Forgive us our trespasses: through Your ineffable mercy
through the power of the passion of Your beloved Son
and through the merits and intercession of the ever
blessed Virgin and all Your elect.
As we forgive those who trespass against us: And what we do
not completely forgive, make us, Lord, forgive completely
that we may truly love our enemies because of You
and we may fervently intercede for them before You,
returning no one evil for evil and we may strive to help
everyone in You.
And lead us not into temptation: hidden or obvious, sudden
or persistent.
But deliver us from evil: past, present, and to come.
Glory to the Father, and to the Son, and to the Holy
Spirit. As it was in the beginning, is now, and will be forever. Amen.
