A Responsive Lord's Prayer
Our Father in Heaven,
Remind us constantly that you are parent to all your children,
Whoever, or wherever they are or come from.
Hallowed be your name.
Your Kingdom come,
Establishing peace and justice, hope and life for all peoples.
Your will be done on earth as it is in heaven.
Give us today our daily bread.
Disturb us into awareness of the needs of others.
Forgive us our sins,
Our pride and our prejudices.
As we forgive those who sin against us.
Lead us not into temptation,
Especially keep our hearts and minds open
To see the good in others.
Deliver us from evil.
For the kingdom,
Just and true,
The power,
Gentle and fair,
And the glory,
Shot through with the colours of love,
Are yours for ever and ever.
Amen.
