Biblical Catholic Prayer
The Lord's Prayer
The Lord's Prayer is the prayer Jesus taught His disciples and is central to Christian prayer. PWG currently offers the King James Version wording as a shared biblical text rather than official Catholic liturgical wording.
Biblical setting
The Lord's Prayer is taught by Jesus in the Gospels and has become one of the central prayers of Christian life.
Its petitions turn the heart toward God's name, kingdom, will, daily provision, forgiveness, mercy, and deliverance from evil.
Why it matters in Catholic prayer
In Catholic life, the Lord's Prayer is prayed in the Mass, in the Rosary, in personal devotion, and in many moments of family and communal prayer.
PWG presents this page as a biblical prayer path using KJV wording, while recognizing that official Catholic liturgical wording and modern translations may have separate source and permission considerations.
How it may be prayed
The Lord's Prayer may be prayed word for word, reflected on line by line, or used as a pattern for personal prayer: adoration, surrender, daily dependence, forgiveness, and trust in God's protection.
