Do not say ”Father”, if you do not accept
and listen to God as a child 如果你不像個孩子般接納和服從上主,請不要稱我為「父親」
Do not say“Our”,if you live isolated in your selfishness. 如果你只自私地為一己而活,請不要說「我們的」
Do not say“ Our Father
in heaven”,if you only think about earthly things. 如果你只掛念世俗的事,請不要稱我為「在天上的」父親
Do not say “Hallowed be thy name ”,if you do not honor me. 如果你沒打算光榮我,請不要說「願祢的名受顯揚」
Do not say “Thy Kingdom come”,if you confuse it with material success . 如果你把天國與世俗的成就混淆不清,請不要說「願祢的國來臨」
Do not say“ Your will be done”,if you do not agree when it is painful. 當承行上主的旨意時感到痛苦,你便不願接受,請不要說「願祢的旨意奉行在人間」
Do not say “Give us
today our daily bread”,if you do not worry about people who are
hungry. 如果你不念及在饑餓中的兄弟姊妹,請不要說「賜給我們日用的食糧」

our sins as we forgive those who sins against us”,if you do
not prepare to forgive your brothers. 如果你沒打算寬恕自己的兄弟姊妹,請不要說「寬恕我們的罪過,如同我們寬恕別人一樣」

us to test ”,if you have intentions to continue
sinning. 如果你刻意讓自己繼續犯罪,請不要說「不要讓我們陷於誘惑」
