Repetitious Prayer

Matthew 6:8-13

Do not be like them, for your Father knows what you need before you ask him. Pray then like this:

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 debts,
As we also have forgiven our debtors;
And lead us not into temptation,
But deliver us from evil.

Catholic Perspective

Jesus exhorts the Lord’s Prayer as a Christian standard, to be prayed often, which is why Catholics pray it at every Mass, every day, throughout the world.
