Our Father

I am so thrilled with the Founders of Freedom history book we are going through this year. It is part of a set and teaches history along with Biblical history and church history. We're at the point of Christ's life. One of their assignments was to make a book about the Lord's Prayer.

I googled The Lord's Prayer book and found a printable on DLTK. Afterwards, I found this Catholic version. But I had already printed the first one so I will just make a note that the doxology portion is used at mass. The Catholic Toolbox had an article with a lot of activities. But most seemed to be focused on learning or memorizing which isn't something we need since we pray it every evening. Both John Micah and Joseph have started saying parts of it at 9 months old.

The challenge to the older boys is to find pictures to represent the different parts. So I have left the backs of each page blank so that they can add pictures from magazines or their own drawings. I think it's a great challenge to dig a little deeper into a familiar prayer.  

Our Father, Who 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 trespasses,
as we forgive those who trespass against us;
and lead us not into temptation,
but deliver us from evil. Amen.
