The Lord’s prayer
Our Father in heaven,
hallowed be your name.
Your kingdom come, your will be done
on earth as in heaven.
Give us today our daily bread.
Forgive us our sins
as we forgive those who sin against us.
Lead us not into temptation,
but deliver us from evil.
For the kingdom, the power
and the glory are yours,
now and for ever.
The Jesus Prayer
Lord Jesus Christ,
Son of God,
Have mercy on me,
a sinner.
In the Eastern Orthodox Churches, this short prayer is said repeatedly as an aid to meditation
Prayer of St Richard of Chichester
Dear Lord,
for these three things I pray:
to see thee more clearly,
to love thee more dearly,
to follow thee more nearly,
day by day.
Serenity Prayer by Reinhold Niebuhr
God, grant me the serenity
to accept the things I cannot change,
the courage to change the things I can,
and the wisdom to know the difference.
Prayer of Saint Ignatius Loyola
Teach us, Good Lord,
To serve Thee as Thou deservest;
To give and not to count the cost;
To fight and not to heed the wounds;
To labour and not to ask for any reward,
save that of knowing that we do Thy will.
Through Jesus Christ Our Lord, Amen.
