About Make A Prayer

The Lord's Prayer

The Lord's Prayer (Douay-Rheims), as it appears in the edition cited below.

Every text below comes from the edition named under it and was checked twice, independently, before it appeared. Neither check was a person. That is a claim about wording only: nothing here is selected or endorsed for a particular situation, and nobody credentialed in the tradition has signed it. Older spelling is kept as the edition prints it.

Thus therefore shall you pray: Our Father who art in heaven, hallowed be thy name.

Thy kingdom come. Thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven.

And lead us not into temptation. But deliver us from evil. Amen.

Vosotros pues, oraréis así: Padre nuestro que estás en los cielos, santificado sea tu nombre.

Venga tu reino. Sea hecha tu voluntad, como en el cielo, así también en la tierra.

Danos hoy nuestro pan cotidiano.

Y perdónanos nuestras deudas, como también nosotros perdonamos á nuestros deudores.

French · La Sainte Bible, traduction Louis Segond, edition de 1910, 1910Read twice, independently

Voici donc comment vous devez prier: Notre Père qui es aux cieux! Que ton nom soit sanctifié;

que ton règne vienne; que ta volonté soit faite sur la terre comme au ciel.

Donne-nous aujourd'hui notre pain quotidien;

pardonne-nous nos offenses, comme nous aussi nous pardonnons à ceux qui nous ont offensés;

ne nous induis pas en tentation, mais délivre-nous du malin. Car c'est à toi qu'appartiennent, dans tous les siècles, le règne, la puissance et la gloire. Amen!

An edition tried and held

Another edition of this prayer was checked and is not printed, because its two witnesses part at the place marked below. Nothing was corrected to make them agree.

  • The Lord's Prayer (Hapgood 1906) THE THIRD HOUR, page 43#

    1906 first edition, Cornell University Library copy (the copy that would be published)

    Our Father, who art in heaven. Hallowed be thy Name. Thy kingdo…

    1922 second edition, Association Press

    Our Father, who art in heaven, Hallowed be thy Name. Thy kingdo…

    A full stop (U+002E) where the other has a comma (U+002C). Two physical copies of the book, scanned and read separately, report different characters at the same place. A misreading in one is the likeliest cause, but correcting the second witness is how a second witness stops being one, so nothing is corrected and nothing is published. Re-run the comparison with npm run verify:scans.
