Pater noster, qui es in caelis,
sanctificetur nomen tuum;
adveniat regnum tuum;
fiat voluntas tua, sicut in caelo, et in terra.
Panem nostrum cotidianum da nobis hodie;
et dimitte nobis debita nostra,
sicut et nos dimittimus debitoribus nostris;
et ne nos inducas in tentationem;
sed libera nos a malo. Amen.

History & Background
The Lord's Prayer was taught by Jesus Christ himself to his disciples, as recorded in Matthew 6:9–13 and Luke 11:2–4. Jesus gave it in response to the disciples' request, "Lord, teach us to pray" (Lk 11:1). The Didache (c. 90 AD), the earliest surviving Christian catechetical document, directs that it be prayed three times daily. The Council of Carthage (397) included it in baptismal instruction. The Catechism of the Catholic Church (§§ 2759–2865) devotes its entire fourth part to a commentary on the Lord's Prayer, calling it "the summary of the whole gospel" (Tertullian) and "the most perfect of prayers" (St. Thomas Aquinas, ST II-II, q.83, a.9).
