恭讀聖瑪竇福音 6:7-15

那時候,耶穌對他的門徒說:「你們祈禱時,不要勞勞叨叨,如同外邦人一樣,他們以為只要多言,便可獲得垂允。你們不要跟他們一樣,因為你們的父,在你們求他以前。已知道你們需要什麼。所以,你們應當這樣祈禱:我們在天之父!願你的名被尊為聖,願你的國來臨,願你的旨意承行於地,如在天上一樣。我們的日用糧,求你今天賜給我們;寬免我們的罪債,猶如我們也寬免得罪我們的人;不要讓我們陷入誘惑,但救我們免於凶惡。因為你們若寬免別人的過犯,你們的天父也必寬免你們的;但你們若不寬免別人的,你們的父也必不寬免你們的過犯。」

—上主的話。

A Reading from the Holy Gospel according to Matthew 6:7-15

7 “And in praying do not heap up empty phrases as the Gentiles do; for they think that they will be heard for their many words. 8 Do not be like them, for your Father knows what you need before you ask him. 9 Pray then like this: Our Father who art in heaven, Hallowed be thy name. 10 Thy kingdom come. Thy will be done, On earth as it is in heaven. 11 Give us this day our daily bread; 12 And forgive us our debts, As we also have forgiven our debtors; 13 And lead us not into temptation, But deliver us from evil. 14 For if you forgive men their trespasses, your heavenly Father also will forgive you; 15 but if you do not forgive men their trespasses, neither will your Father forgive your trespasses.

—The Gospel of the Lord.
