God: is so univerkaliy ad -

Of course everyone knows
that Jesus.spoke an entirely
different • language 'than we'
do; that the prayer is used in
every language of the world;
and that there have. always
been ` slight variations in
usage in the EngliSsh-
'traditions.
The commonest variation
-un=til recently- has-been 'that
some people say: ':Forgive its
our trespasses, as we forgive
them that trespass against
us," and•othersSay: Forgive
us our debts, as we forgive
our debtors,," The personal
pronouns'have also, over the
years; been mo'der'nized; for
example, "Our Father which
art in heaven is now more
commonly. "Our "Father, who
art in heaven.".
We first become aware of a
modernizing • of the whole
prayer as we read the more
•.recent translations of the
New Testahaent, but it is in
the tast ten years • that
liturgical changes have been.
introduced, so that one is

the direction . given by the,
International Consultation on:

and other ' fbmiliar prayers'
which tre usually ,said or

.The accepted text for the
Lord's sayer is:.
Our Fath r in heaven,.

Do not bring us to, the•time of

but deliver us from evil.
For the, kingdom,' the power,
• and'the gloryare'yours
now and forever, Amen.
There is • still Some
dissatisfaction about the
words "Do not bring us to the,
time of trial.- Some liturgies
use, "Save us from the time of; -
'trial," and others use "Do not
bring us tathe test."
• Any of these: seems
preferable to the old' r form:.
"Lead us not' into temp-
tation, which: has always
posed difficulties, • for, a
-hough,tful • person who' may
very well ask why,. God would
be the instigator of temp-

Everyone memorizes 'it. It is-

irrespective' of: .religious
purposes. • :
How are we going:to snake
the transition 4rom ,the older'
text to the new.;text so. that a
body of people can recite the
prayer . together without
confusion? ..
Until the new text is being
commonly used, there will be
an'unreaiity in its'occasi:oiial
use. There is the -danger that, -
in the very deepest sense, it
will not be a prayer. We ,will
'
be saying the new text and
thinkin`g the' old. text,
.something the same•as we are.
doing with Celsius and
:Fahrenheit.
• .Certainly a prayer is more
than a nu. mber.of appropriate
words put together: A prayer
which is.to be usedby people
in cornmon has ` 'to • be so,
that the words `come
easily and quickly to mind.
One need•not be consdious of
the words being said because
the prayer is. the response of
the soul, but familiarity:with;.
the words intensifies . the:
Mood •of solemnity and'• •
.dedication.',
I hope that in - these next
twenty years or. so we will
•arrive at' a consenus among
-English speaking- Gl rtsti•ans
as to the .forrns we use; and
particularly in regard to;this .
prayer whidh is so commonly
