The Lord’s Prayer is better called “The Disciples’ Prayer,” as Jesus, being sinless, taught it as a model for His followers, not because He needed to seek forgiveness.
Inspired by AI’s ability to translate poetry accurately, I crafted this Petrarchan sonnet to reflect the Lord’s Prayer’s timeless beauty.
Petrarchan sonnet Matt. 6:9-13
In this manner, therefore, pray:
Our Father, dwelling high above,
Your name is hallowed by our love.
Your kingdom come, we humbly pray,
Your will be done through night and day.
On earth, as heaven’s courts are led,
Provide our souls with daily bread.
Forgive our debts, as we forgive
The wrongs of those who with us live.
Yet turn our hearts from evil’s sway,
And guide us in Your holy way.
For Yours is power, glory, might,
A kingdom shining through the night.
In Your great name, we say Amen,
And trust Your love until the end.
