Difference (from prior major revision) (no other diffs)

Changed: 1c1
The Lord's Prayer (sometimes known by its first two Latin words as the Pater Noster) is probably the most well-known prayer in the Christian religion. The Lord's Prayer is excerpted from Chapter 11, verses 2-4, of the Gospel of St. Luke in the New Testament.
The Lord's Prayer (sometimes known by its first two Latin words as the Pater Noster, or the English equivalent Our Father) is probably the most well-known prayer in the Christian religion. The Lord's Prayer is excerpted from Chapter 11, verses 2-4, of the Gospel of St. Luke in the New Testament. (The same prayer also appears in Matthew 6:9-13).

Added: 19a20,51

When the Lord's Prayer is recited in the Roman Catholic mass (Novus Ordo), an additional section, recited by the Priest alone, is inserted before the final doxology ("For thine is the kingdom", etc.):

::All.
::Our Father,
::who art in heaven,
::hallowed be thy name;
::thy kingdom come;
::thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven.
::Give us this day our daily bread;
::and forgive us our trespasses
::as we forgive those who trespass against us;
::and lead us not into temptation,
::but deliver us from evil.
::
::Priest.
::Deliver us, Lord, from every evil,
::and grant us peace in our day.
::In your mercy keep us free from sin
::and protect us from all anxiety
::as we wait in joyful hope
::for the coming of our Saviour, Jesus Christ.
::
::All.
::For the kingdom,
::the power,
::and the glory are yours
::now and for ever.

Catholics, when reciting the Lord's prayer, omit the doxology, since in the Mass it is separated from the rest of the prayer by the additional section.

The doxology was probably not present in the original version of the prayer, but rather was added to the Gospel's as a result of its use in the liturgy of the early church.
