Initiative: Lord's Prayer Jun 2008
avatar brianfb5150 Supports: 3 Our Father and Mother, in Heaven and on Earth.

May all that has breath praise your sacred Name.
Throughout all Creation, may your Kingdom come.
Throughout all Creation, may your will be done, as it is in Heaven.
Give all people the bread that we need.
And may our debts be forgiven as we forgive the debts of others.
Lead us away from hatred, injustice, and evil.
And led us toward your vision of love, justice, and mutuality.
For the Kingdom, power, and glorty are yours forever and ever.
Amen.

 

The language in this version of the Lord's Prayer follows the "spirit" of the Biblical versions. But this version attempts to use modern language that helps readers and pray-ers consider, anew, what Jesus' prayer is about. Hopefully, themes such as debt forgiveness and the holiness of Creation are highlighted when this language is used.
