Does your non-Catholic Christian denomination pray the Our Father (the Lord’s Prayer) at every Service? If not, then why not?

At every Catholic Mass, the Our Father Prayer is recited. Does your non-Catholic Christian denomination recite the Our Father prayer (the Lord’s Prayer) at ever Service, or every Sunday; If not…then please explain, why not?

Do you pray the Our Father daily? If not, then why not?

In Matthew 6:9, Jesus instructs us - “This is how you are to pray…” - followed by the Our Father Prayer.

Our Father

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. Amen.

Peace 🙂
 
Friends don’t typically use prescribed prayers in worship. When vocal prayer is offered by one moved to do so, it typically is “free form”…I have been at Meeting for Worship where the Lord’s Prayer was recited by a Friend who felt moved to offer it…but typically we don’t practice fixed of liturgical prayers at Meeting.

All vocal ministry must arise apart from “creaturely activity” and occur at the moving of the Spirit, the same with prayer, if prayer is offered vocally to break the Living Silence, it must be done so through the Spirit’s instruction…the same with Bible readings…to break the Living Silence is done so with deep prayerful regard to minister to the whole Meeting.

Friend Jimmy, I haven’t seen you post in a while.🙂

No, and you know what I have no clue. Ill have to ask tom. when I go to bible study;)

My church did growing up but that was episcopalian. My father use to say that episcopalians are catholics who failed latin:D

The one problem I can see happening though is that people are just reciting it and not really focusing on what each word/phrase really truly means.😦

The Lord’s Prayer, one of the three creeds, usually the Apostles or Nicene. The Athanasian on Trinity Sunday. Three scripture readings, an Introit, and a liturgy that Catholics would find quite familiar.

Hello ALLFORHIM,

Are we to assume that non-Catholic Christians don’t have a problem with staying focused during prayer or while at Church?

My response is to this, often repeated and common Protestant misconception towards Catholics and not to you personally.

I have heard similar comments like yours, many…many times and they are always regarding a “concern” for Catholics to stay “focused” and not for “Protestants” to stay focused during prayer or during “Sunday Services”.

Although, I have heard that some “Protestant” ministers do bring this concern up, from time to time, in their own churches.

You are correct, we should all remain focused in prayer and in worship. 👍

Peace 🙂

I think it happens in all churches prot and cath alike. I think it is a human problem.

I dont think one group as any more advantage over the other.😉

I think it may happen in most churches, but I also think that denoms that view the Eucharist as symbolic or just remembrance are more likely to have this problem than are those that believe in the real presence.

Maybe–I think that is something we will never truly know.😉
 
presbyterian church does. but…

Jesus gave a model of prayer, not a required set of words. read the whole passage (or the whole bible maybe as well) and you’ll see the theme of relationship, not ritual. now, for many, ritual is something that brings their relationship closer. for others, they need the freedom to take the model Jesus gave them and form it to their personality, i.e. use words that mean something to them.
