I've been saying this for years! Actually, a friend called my attention to it. She was first, then I thought about it and agreed. I'm talking about the "The Lord's Prayer," or "The Our Father."
She said it always bother her that we prayed:
Our Father who art in heaven, Hallowed be thy name. Thy kingdom come. Thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven. Give us this day our daily bread, and forgive us our trespasses, as we forgive those who trespass against us, and lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil.
I understand that this wording is only in English. Other languages say the equivalent of protect us, or keep us away from, temptation. Now, I read that our Holy Father agrees. He asks for a better English translation.
The sooner, the better.
