i attended my first catholic wedding a few years back (i grew up protestant). it was a bit frustrating because there were tons of responsive readings/prayers throughout, and everyone in the church knew them by heart except for me and my wife. when it came to the lords prayer, i was excited, because for once i could join in. i even remembered to switch 'debts' to 'trespasses'. man, this was awesome. however, i did not realize that the catholics stop the lords prayer at 'trespass against us.' so the entire church went silent, and then i belch out '..AND LEAD US'. followed by several awkward stares. i felt like i was in one of those southwest airlines commercials.

100%. Not bad for an atheist. Last time I read this was at school assembly - and that quite a few years ago so I'm pleased I remembered it. Pub quizzes and surfing sporcle: the only times you're glad the most useless things you learned at school were taught to you!

23/25. I couldn't remember the second line. Not bad for a Protestant-turned-Atheist.

Oh, I forgot. The last line isn't just said at Catholic ceremonies like George9191 said. I grew up in a Congregational church and they used the last line as well.

@montecarlo. Great story. I'd do exactly the same, I didn't know that they cut it short either!

@smacaskill - They also used that line in the Baptist church I grew up in.

There seems to be some national variation, here, too. Almost all of the church services I've been in in England have been various Protestant denominations but I've only ever heard one version of the Lord's Prayer: trespasses rather than debts, everything included, no `and' after `Kingdom' and `forever and ever, Amen.'

I was born and raised Catholic, and from a very big Catholic area, and the last line is rarely used, if ever.

There's variation, even within the Catholic church. Growing up, we used the version in parenthesis, now out here at school, we use the other. Weird adjustment at first.

@davidr. Completely agree. I'm from England as well. My school certainly wasn't Catholic and used exactly the same version you describe i.e. trespasses rather than debts, everything included, no `and' after `Kingdom' and `forever and ever, Amen.' I think it must be a national difference.

It's Matthew 6:9-13, then the other differences trace back to whoever started leading it at various places, I guess. I always thought the "Forever and ever, Amen" came from a Randy Travis song. :P

Surely "ON" Earth as "in" Heaven? Not "*i*n earth."

CJ, You're not the only one. I say it daily, sometimes as many as 5-6 times per day if I'm praying the Rosary.

You know at the Salem Witch Trials they used to make accused witches recite the Lord's Prayer and if they missed even one word, it was assumed they were a witch. Then if they got it perfect, they were accused of being influence by Satan and hanged anyway.

In the UK Church of England they typically use an updated version sorting out grammar issues like 'on Earth'. With the amendments mentioned by @davidr this is what I learnt as a kid in the early 1960s. As a believer/atheist/believer/agnostic I do find the use of debt/debtor rather than trespass/trespasser rather odd (presumably it is a better translation of the original). It seems overly financial to me.

@ntnon. I agree. 'In' earth? If you're going to pray, at least use the correct grammar.

woo, old-school presbyterianism. *throws confetti* and it *is* "on earth", not "in earth", since the translators of the King James Bible at least had the good sense to use correct grammar. ;)

Quoting directly from my New International Version, Matthew 6:9 - 13. "Our Father in Heaven, hallowed be your name, your kingdom come, your will be done, on Earth as it is in Heaven. Give us today our daily bread, Forgive us our debts, as we also have forgiven our debtors, And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from the evil one." As to the last line, no idea where that came from, but I'm going to Google it on my next day off and see what I can find out, because it's bugging me now. The full version, as above (last line included), is the one we use in my baptist church. Other churches and other bibles are obviously going to have slightly different translations though.

You don't have to be catholic to know the lord's prayer (although it does help out a bit).

I grew up attending Catholic mass in a Boston suburb and we said the trespasses version, but never said the last line.

@skydog. Not everyone's a Historian, or a Geographer or a Musician. Or...if I was being really cynical about this site I could say not everyone's an American (I won't as the majority are and I think it's great that UK quizzes are added too). That's the point of this site...variety! BTW, any updates on why it's not updating the stats page??

The last line is said in Catholic mass, but by the priest, not the congregation.

One of the easier quizzes for me, a good Episcopal boy, but I'm surprised at how many people were not familiar with the variations. I guess we don't step out of our comfort zones much.

Horray! I got it all right :-) btw the Catholics say the last line at Mass during the recitation of the Our Father,just before the Lamb of God, let's pay attention!!

I guess we don't rockhopperlad. I am not Catholic, Episcopal or Presbyterian (sp). I am pentecostal but I learned this as a child before in a religious grade school I attended. I don't think it makes a difference whether you are Catholic or not. Good quiz, one of the few quizzes I was able get 100% on the first try.

might add the alternate "forgive us our sins as we forgive those who sin against us" it is as widely used as trespasses
