Gospel reading for February 28 2023 – Matthew 6:7-15

Jesus said to his disciples:

⁷  “In praying, do not babble like the pagans, who think that they will be heard because of their many words.

⁸  Do not be like them. Your Father knows what you need before you ask him.

⁹  “This is how you are to pray: Our Father who art in heaven, hallowed be thy name,

¹⁰  thy Kingdom come, thy will be done, on earth as it is in heaven.

¹¹  Give us this day our daily bread;

¹²  and forgive us our trespasses, as we forgive those who trespass against us;

¹³  and lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil.

¹⁴  “If you forgive men their transgressions, your heavenly Father will forgive you.

¹⁵  But if you do not forgive men, neither will your Father forgive your transgressions.”
