Our Father

Christian petitional recitation

Our Father is the Lord's Prayer, the Christian prayer that begins with those words.

It appears in the Gospels as Jesus's model for how to pray: The congregation recited the Our Father together.

The phrase also refers to God directly, as the one addressed in the prayer.
