Question 118

What has God commanded us to ask of him?

All things necessary for soul and body;1 which Christ our Lord has comprised in that prayer he himself has taught us.

Question 119

What are the words of that prayer?2

Our Father which 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 debts, as we forgive our debtors. And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil. For thine is the kingdom, and the power, and the glory, forever. Amen.


1 James 1:17; Matt. 6:33.
