I was born and raised Catholic and the Lord's Prayer was very much a part of my praying ritual. Actually, it was the only prayer with the Hail Mary that I did all my life until my late 20's when I realized the best form of prayer for me was conversation. A friend recently introduced me to what is known as the "the original version" of the prayer that she found in a book and shared it with me. My how different the two prayers are from each other. This prayer is so beautiful it gives me chills when I read it.
I would love to hear from anyone who wants to share their thoughts on this prayer and their prayer practices.
Namaste',
Lee

My Spirit
My Spirit you are Omnipotent
Your name is holy
May your kingdom be incarnate in me
May your power reveal itself within me
On Earth and in the Heavens
Give me today my daily bread and
Thus let me recognize my sins, and
I shall recognize the truth
Do not lead me into temptation and confusion
But deliver me from error
For yours is the kingdom within me, and
The power and knowledge forever
My Spirit you are Omnipotent

May your kingdom be incarnate in me
May your power reveal itself within me
On Earth and in the Heavens
Give me today my daily bread and
Thus let me recognize my sins, and
I shall recognize the truth
Do not lead me into temptation and confusion
But deliver me from error
For yours is the kingdom within me, and
The power and knowledge forever
Lee,
ReplyDeleteI think this is a beautiful interpretation. I remember when I attended Unity Church that they changed the sentence: Do not lead me into temptation..." to "Do not leave me in temptation", which made more sense to me. But above all, I believe that it is one's vibration and alignment with Source - not the words - that really matters.
Love,
