**I want to know how this phrase came to be part of what is seen as the non-Catholic “Our Father?” This additional verse is not part of the Gospel. As Catholics we recite this verse after others prayers are recited by the Priest.

Where did this additional verse come about for non-Catholics?**

I am hesitant to trust Wikipedia…what are the references from other Christian demononations on this question?

By my recollection it came about that we added that phrase post-Vatican II. With the new translation as of the First Sunday of Advent, it has again been omitted.

Interestingly, it was said Henry VIII, in his reforms, who added this doxology to the Lord’s Prayer. And it seems it may be true.

Also, in Luther’s Small Catechism, his commentary on the Lord’s Prayer (Our Father) does not include the doxology. He probably considered it the same way the article does, though I’m not positive.
