The Lord’s Prayer （主の祈り）
The Lord’ｓ Prayer
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.
Hail Mary （アヴェ・マリアの祈り）
Hail Mary
Hail Mary, full of grace,
the Lord is with thee;
blessed art thou amongst women,
and blessed is the fruit of thy womb, Jesus.
Holy Mary, Mother of God,
pray for us sinners,
now and at the hour of our death.
Amen.
The Jubilee Prayer
Father in heaven,
may the faith you have given us
in your son, Jesus Christ, our brother,
and the flame of charity enkindled
in our hearts by the Holy Spirit,
reawaken in us the blessed hope
for the coming of your Kingdom.
May your grace transform us
into tireless cultivators of the seeds of the Gospel.
May those seeds transform from within both humanity and the whole cosmos
in the sure expectation
of a new heaven and a new earth,
when, with the powers of Evil vanquished,
your glory will shine eternally.
May the grace of the Jubilee
reawaken in us, Pilgrims of Hope,
a yearning for the treasures of heaven.
May that same grace spread
the joy and peace of our Redeemer
throughout the earth.
To you our God, eternally blessed,
be glory and praise for ever.
Amen.

A Christian Prayer for the Protection of All Life
God, Creator of the universe,
in your kindness you embrace everything you have made.
Enlighten each of us
so that we may hear the cries of abandoned and forgotten people
and the cry of this Earth that we have hurt so much.
Show us the way out of indifference
so that we might support poor and weak people
and treasure the Earth, our common home.
Send the power and light of the Holy Spirit upon us
to make us instruments of your love
to protect all life and open a better future
so that we might join all creation in singing your praise
through Jesus Christ our Lord.
Amen.
