Prayer

It's been said that the shortest prayer is "Help!". Jesus prayed to his heavenly Father for brief moments and sometimes continually for days.

This page includes the prayer that Jesus himself gave to his disciples as a model, along with weblinks to the Church of England's daily prayer cycle.

Saturdays, 9:30am: Morning Prayer in St Paul's Lady chapel (pictured, right) or in the choir.

'The Lord's prayer', traditional and modern forms:

Our Father, who art in heaven
Hallowed by thy name;
Thy kingdom come
Thy will be done
In 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.
Lead us not into temptation
But deliver us from evil,
For thine is the Kingdom, the Power and the Glory,
For ever and ever. Amen.

Our Father in heaven
Hallowed by your name;
Your kingdom come
Your will be done
On earth as in heaven;
Give us today our daily bread,
And forgive us our sins
As we forgive those who sin against us.
Lead us not into temptation
But deliver us from evil,
For the Kingdom, the Power and the Glory are yours,
Now and for ever. Amen.

You may wish to take some time out to pray and meditate using an on-line Labyrinth, sponsored by Youth for Christ around the year 2000. It's an interactive installation for spiritual journeys, for anyone who wants a break from surfing the surface of culture to contemplate the deeper things of life.
The YfC labyrinth reshapes a 12th-century ritual for the 21st century. Its maze-like path takes you on a symbolic journey, creates space to unwind and think - in particular about our relationships with ourselves, one another, our planet and with God. Designed for young and old alike, it provides a mixture of rituals and visuals, of contemplative words and contemporary ambient music, of symbols and media to help guide the spiritual traveller.
