Jesus Teaches Me to Pray Our Father UR Father, Who art in heaven, O 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. 3
Prayer for Christmas Day JESUS, my God, for love of me, You were born of the Virgin Mary and became a child like me. You wanted to work and suffer, and even to die on the Cross, to show Your love for me and to save my soul. When I look into the crib, I ask You, Mary, and Joseph to bless my family. When I see the beautiful Christmas tree with lights and ornaments, I think of how beautiful my soul should be in the grace of God and that I will live forever. When I see the toys I received, I think of the many wonderful things You have done for me. Thank You, dear Lord, for coming on earth and dying on the Cross to save the world. 12
