The Our Father Project

This is in response to Mike McCroghan's interpretation of the our Our Father and his thoughts on personalizing it and seriously looking at a very old and often very unthought of prayer to bring it into the current age.

There is a link here to his blog ! Go to it!


Our Father in heaven,
And our Mother below
Breath that sustains us,
Hope of our souls,
May you be honored by every name you bear
In every land,
And may we honor all who name you,
And hallow your Spirit where no names suffice

Hasten this day, place your heart in our hands
and may no obstacle
Stand in our way, inflame us that we might work in this world for the peace that holds all worlds together

Grant to us every good thing
Day by day
Day by day pardon our offences
Wash us, bind us, help us to stand
That we might start afresh always
For we shall grant this same grace one to another
And shepherd us through all temptation,
Safeguard us through every evil

There is neither power, nor glory save yours
Given in full measure to we your children, to give to each other
And now we give it to you today and all days

Amen
