Let’s Pray the Rosary All Over The World

The Our Father, known as the Lord’s Prayer was a prayer taught by Jesus to His disciples as an example of how to pray. The prayer is found in the New Testament of the Bible, specifically in the Gospel of Matthew (Matthew 6:9-13) and the Gospel of Luke (Luke 11:2-4). It is considered one of the most fundamental and widely recited prayers in the Catholic Church, is used in various Christian denominations in their worship and personal devotions. 

The Our Father is the core teachings of Jesus, emphasizing worship, submission to God’s will, forgiveness, and trust in God’s providence.
