Old Testament, Letters from New Testament
Reader: The Word of the Lord
All: Thanks be to God
Our Father, who art in heaven,
hallowed by 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.
In the Catholic tradition, the priest says another prayer here...
For the kingdom, the power, and the glory are Yours, now and forever. Amen.
Priest: The Lord be with you.
All: And with your spirit.
Gospel
Priest: The Gospel of Jesus Christ
All: Praise to you, Lord Jesus Christ
