Lord's Prayer
ON THE LORD'S PRAYER
A thing you cannot do:
No prayer has ever been uttered as many times by as many people as this one.

"Lord's Prayer". The Our Father. All other prayers are of a lower order, for they contain particularistic elements, or are so framed that in some way or other they stir the imagination in regard to the things of sense as well; while this prayer leads us away from everything to the height where the soul is alone with its God.
by Jerry R. Hoffman
You cannot pray the Lord's prayer
And even once say "I",
You cannot pray the Lord's prayer
And even once say "my",
You cannot pray the Lord's prayer
And not include another,
For when you seek your daily bread
You must include your brother.
For others are included
In each and every plea,
From the beginning of it
To the end of it
It doesn't once say
"Me".
After this manner, therefore pray: Our Father, which art in heaven, Hollowed be thy name. Thy kingdom come, Thy will be done in earth, as it is in heaven. Give us this day our daily bread. And forgive us our debts, as we forgive our debtors. And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil. For thine is the kingdom and the power and the glory for ever. Amen.
[326]
