Prayer 4 U: "Our Father"

We've all said the Lord's Prayer or the "Our Father".  It's a very important prayer given to us by Jesus.  It's in the Bible too.  We say it during every Mass and it goes like this:

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.

But what does it really mean?

Our Father, who art in Heaven [Hello God! What's up?  You're living it up in Heaven and You are our Father]

hallowed by thy name. [Your name is cool and holy.  Help us to be more like Jesus.]

Thy kingdom come [Your house (heaven) is always there.]

Thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven. [We need to follow Your rules with the help of the Holy Spirit.]

Give us this day our daily bread [We need to trust You to make sure we have all that we need and see us through bad times so we can chill up with You when we die.]

And forgive us our trespasses [Please forgive all the snarky and mean things we do]

As we forgive those who trespass against us. [We will forgive all those kids who do mean and snarky things to us like Stacy Cook who smushed MC's fingers in a bathroom stall in kindergarten]

And lead us not into temptation. [We're asking God to help not do mean and snarky things or think mean and snarky thoughts]

But deliver us from evil. [Help us come to You when we die] 

Amen [yes, please--(that's MM's advise for us--always try to be polite, help others, say please and thank you and use sir and ma'am)]

So there you have it.  The Lord's Prayer!  Don't you think it's best prayer ever?  Basically when you say it, you asking God to help us in faith, friendship and life! 

Next up, the Hail Mary!!!
