I have a question about the part we say at the Mass along with the priest:
“Deliver us, Lord from every evil and grant us peace in our day. In your mercy keep us free from sin and protect us from all anxiety as we wait in joyful hope for the coming of our Lord, Jesus Christ. For thine is the Kingdom and the power and the glory, forever and ever. Amen.”
Is it true that this, or part of it, is an old Jewish prayer that was added during the Mass at some point in history?
So, when our protestant brethern add “For Thine is the kingdom…” when they say it, they are unknowlingly giving a nod to their Catholic roots?
I am fascinated by this. Any information would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.
