"Your Father knows what you need before you ask him. Pray then in this way…” - Matthew 6:8–9
My Father
Who art in heaven
Hallowed be thy name
Thy kingdom come
thy will be done
On earth as it is in heaven
Give me this day my daily bread
And forgive me my sins.
As I forgive the sins of my brother
Lead me not into temptation
And deliver me from evil
For thine is the kingdom, the power and the glory
Father, Son, and Holy Spirit
Forever and ever
Amen
“Forgive us our illusions, Father, and help us to accept our true relationship with You, in which there are no illusions, and where none can ever enter. Our holiness is Yours. What can there be in us that needs forgiveness when Yours is perfect? The sleep of forgetfulness is only the unwillingness to remember Your forgiveness and Your Love. Let us not wander into temptation, for the temptation of the Son of God is not Your Will. And let us receive only what You have given, and accept but this into the minds which You created and which You love. Amen.” (T-16.VII.12:1-7)
