The Lord's Prayer in Orthodox worship and home

The Lord's Prayer in Orthodox worship and home

The post presents the Lord's Prayer, the prayer Christ gave, as it is used in the Orthodox Church. The text notes it is prayed at every Divine Liturgy and in every Orthodox home, and is often the first prayer a person learns. In the Liturgy, the priest concludes it with a doxology to the Holy Trinity.

The accompanying image displays the full 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 debts, as we forgive our debtors.

And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from the evil one." It includes the concluding doxology: "For Thine is the kingdom, the power and the glory, of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit, now and ever, and unto ages of ages. Amen."
