An Inclusive Lord's Prayer

Here’s a re-working of the Lord’s Prayer written by Richard McCall.

The Lord’s Prayer (Inclusive)
(based on Matthew 6: 9-13)

 

Blessed One, our Father and our Mother

   Holy is your name.

   May your love be enacted in the world.

   May your will be done

   On earth as in heaven.

Give us today our daily bread

   And forgive us our sins as we forgive those who sin against us.

   Save us in the time of trial

   and deliver us from evil.

   For all that we do in your love,

   and all that your love brings to birth,

   and the fullness of love that will be

   are yours, now and forever. Amen.
