### Gospel: Matthew 6:7-15

- 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.

Catholic Public Domain Version

Read in the CPDV: [The whole of Matthew 6](https://blessbible.app/bible/matthew/6/)

Computed by Bless from the US Lectionary cycle — confirm with your parish.

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.
