Lord’s
Prayer Litany
(based on Matthew 6:
9-13, Luke 11: 2-4)
Our
Father in heaven, hallowed be your name.
Mystery beyond our
knowing,
close to us as our
breathing,
in humble awe we
pray.
Your
Kingdom come,
your
will be done,
on
earth as in heaven
We pray for your
vision of justice and mercy
to be made real in
our world even now.
Give
us today our daily bread.
We pray for your
vision of enough;
enough sustenance,
enough warmth,
enough healing for
all of your children.
Forgive
us our sins,
as
we forgive those who sin against us.
Lead
us not into temptation,
but
deliver us from evil.
We pray for the grace
to let go of that which
is death dealing
as we embrace your
vision for life,
that we might follow
you safely through the
obstacle course.
For
the kingdom, the power and the glory are
yours.
Now
and for ever.
Giving thanks for
presence that defies
definition
in this life and
beyond.
Amen.
Amen.
