The Lord's Prayer

Our Father who art in heaven,
hallowed be Thy name,
Thy kingdom come,
Thy will be done
on earth as it is in heaven.
Give us this day our daily bread;
and forgive us our trespasses
as we forgive those who trespass against us;
and lead us not into temptation,
but deliver us from evil.
For Thine is the kingdom
and the power and the glory
forever and ever. Amen. Matthew 6:9-13

O God, who despises not the sighing of a contrite heart, nor the desire of such as be sorrowful; Mercifully assist our prayers that we make before You in all our troubles and adversities, whensoever they oppress us; and graciously hear us, that those evils, which the craft and subtlety of the devil or man works against us, be brought to nothing; and by the providence of Your goodness they may be dispersed; that we Your servants, being hurt by no persecutions, may evermore give thanks to You in Your holy Church; through Jesus Christ our Lord.
Amen.
