Prayers

From Rejoice in the Catholic Faith

Prayers are presented here in multiple forms, including Latin for some, and with or without the 2nd person "thy/thine" form of "you/your"

Our Father

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.

Amen

"From Our Father (USCCB)
Pater noster, qui es in cælis:

sanctificétur nomen tuum;

advéniat regnum tuum;

fiat volúntas tua,sicut in cælo, et in terra.

Panem nostrum cotidiánum da nobis hódie;

et dimítte nobis débita nostra,

sicut et nos dimíttimus debitóribus nostris;

et ne nos indúcas in tentatiónem;

sed líbera nos a malo.

Amen.

From the Roman Missal 2002

Prayer to Jesus

also, "The Prayer," or "The Jesus Prayer"

Lord Jesus Christ, Son of God, have mercy on me a sinner

or

Lord Jesus Christ, Son of the Living God, have mercy on me a sinner
Domine Jesu Christe, Fili Dei, miserere mei, peccatoris



Notes:

But the one name that contains everything is the one that the Son of God received in his incarnation: JESUS. The divine name may not be spoken by human lips, but by assuming our humanity The Word of God hands it over to us and we can invoke it: "Jesus," "YHWH saves." The name "Jesus" contains all: God and man and the whole economy of creation and salvation. To pray "Jesus" is to invoke him and to call him within us. His name is the only one that contains the presence it signifies. Jesus is the Risen One, and whoever invokes the name of Jesus is welcoming the Son of God who loved him and who gave himself up for him. (CCC 2666)
