- 7 And when praying, do not choose many words, as the pagans do. For they think that by their excess of words they might be heeded.
- 8 Therefore, do not choose to imitate them. For your Father knows what your needs may be, even before you ask him.
- 9 Therefore, you shall pray in this way: Our Father, who is in heaven: May your name be kept holy.
- 10 May your kingdom come. May your will be done, as in heaven, so also on earth.
- 11 Give us this day our life-sustaining bread.
- 12 And forgive us our debts, as we also forgive our debtors.
- 13 And lead us not into temptation. But free us from evil. Amen.
- 14 For if you will forgive men their sins, your heavenly Father also will forgive you your offenses.
- 15 But if you will not forgive men, neither will your Father forgive you your sins.

Citations as published in the USCCB liturgical calendar.

In US parishes the readings are proclaimed from the NABRE; the text shown here is the Catholic Public Domain Version.

Old Testament readings and the psalm are listed with a link to their chapter: the US Lectionary numbers some of their verses differently from the CPDV, so their text is not printed here. Psalm citations keep the Lectionary’s Hebrew numbering; the CPDV numbers the Psalms as the Vulgate does.
