Lord's Prayer Laminated Prayer Card | Our Father Full Text | Catholic Holy Card
This laminated Lord's Prayer card features a devotional image on the front and the full text of the Our Father — the only prayer Jesus Christ personally taught His disciples — on the reverse. Sealed in protective laminate, this holy card is built for years of daily carry in a wallet, purse, pocket, prayer book, or on your home altar. It puts the words of God Himself in your hands — the prayer that every Christian on earth, across every denomination and every century, has in common.
When the disciples asked Jesus, "Lord, teach us to pray," He did not give them a lecture on prayer. He did not hand them a book. He gave them the Our Father — seven petitions in fewer than 70 words that contain everything a human being could ever need to say to God. Our Father, who art in heaven — we begin by acknowledging who God is and where He reigns. Hallowed be Thy name — we worship Him. Thy kingdom come, Thy will be done — we surrender our will to His. Give us this day our daily bread — we ask for what we need to survive, not what we want to hoard. Forgive us our trespasses, as we forgive those who trespass against us — we ask for mercy and commit to giving it. Lead us not into temptation — we admit our weakness. Deliver us from evil — we ask for protection. That is the entire Christian life in one prayer. Jesus did not add anything. He did not need to.

The Most Universal Christian Prayer Card You Can Give
The Lord's Prayer is the one prayer that unites every Christian in the world. Catholics pray it at every Mass. Protestants pray it in every denomination. Orthodox Christians pray it in every liturgy. It crosses every language, every culture, every century, and every theological divide. That universality makes this card the single safest and most appropriate prayer card to give to anyone — regardless of where they are in their faith journey. A cradle Catholic will carry it with reverence. A new RCIA candidate will use it to memorize the prayer they will soon recite at Mass. A lapsed Catholic returning after years away will recognize it instantly as the prayer they learned as a child. A non-Catholic Christian will accept it gratefully because the Our Father belongs to them too. Even a non-Christian who is curious about the faith will find in it a prayer that is simple, beautiful, and profoundly human.
Gift Ideas & Uses
At under $1, a Lord's Prayer card is the most versatile Catholic gift in our entire store. It is appropriate for every sacramental occasion — Baptism, First Communion, Confirmation, Catholic weddings, ordination, and funerals. Tuck one into a sympathy card — the Our Father is the prayer most Catholics instinctively reach for in grief. Include one in a hospital care package — "Give us this day our daily bread" takes on a different meaning when you are praying for one more day. Hand them out at RCIA classes, parish missions, prison ministry visits, or nursing home chaplaincy rounds. Use them as funeral memorial cards — the Lord's Prayer printed on a keepsake that mourners carry home in their wallet is more lasting than flowers.
Pair this card with a rosary — the Our Father is prayed on the large beads of every decade. Add a crucifix necklace or a cross necklace for a gift set rooted in the prayer Jesus taught us. Combine it with a Rosary Card so the recipient can pray both the Our Father and the Hail Mary anywhere. For more holy cards, browse our full Laminated Pray

Frequently Asked Questions
What are the words to the Lord's Prayer?
The full text of the Lord's Prayer (Our Father) is: '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. Amen.' This is the prayer Jesus Christ personally taught His disciples when they asked Him how to pray, recorded in the Gospel of Matthew (6:9–13) and the Gospel of Luke (11:2–4).
Where is the Lord's Prayer found in the Bible?
The Lord's Prayer appears in two places in the New Testament. The longer version is in the Gospel of Matthew (6:9–13), delivered during the Sermon on the Mount. A shorter version appears in the Gospel of Luke (11:2–4), when a disciple asked Jesus directly, 'Lord, teach us to pray.' The Matthew version is the one used in Catholic liturgy and is the text printed on this prayer card.
Why do Catholics call it the Our Father?
Catholics commonly refer to the Lord's Prayer as the 'Our Father' because those are the opening words of the prayer in English — and in Latin, 'Pater Noster,' which has been the traditional name for the prayer in the Catholic Church for nearly two thousand years. The terms 'Lord's Prayer,' 'Our Father,' and 'Pater Noster' all refer to the same prayer. The name 'Lord's Prayer' comes from the fact that the Lord Jesus Christ Himself is the one who taught it.
When do Catholics pray the Our Father during Mass?
Catholics pray the Our Father during every Mass, immediately before the sign of peace and the reception of Holy Communion. The priest introduces it with the words 'At the Savior's command and formed by divine teaching, we dare to say' — and the entire congregation prays the Our Father together. It is one of the most solemn and unifying moments of the Mass, as every person present speaks directly to God the Father in the words His Son gave them.
How many times is the Our Father prayed in one Rosary?
The Our Father is prayed six times in a standard five-decade Rosary — once on the introductory beads before the first decade and once at the beginning of each of the five decades (on the large bead before the ten Hail Marys). In a full 20 decade Rosary, the Our Father is prayed 21 times. The Our Father and the Hail Mary together form the two foundational prayers of the entire Rosary devotion.
What does the Catholic Church teach about the Lord's Prayer?
The Catechism of the Catholic Church devotes its entire final section (Part Four, Section Two, §2759–2865) to the Lord's Prayer, calling it 'the summary of the whole Gospel' and 'the most perfect of prayers.' St. Thomas Aquinas taught that the Our Father asks for everything in the right order — first God's glory, then our needs. St. Augustine said that every prayer in Scripture is contained within the Lord's Prayer. The early Church considered the prayer so sacred that it was only taught to catechumens in the final stages before Baptism.
Is the Lord's Prayer the same in Catholic and Protestant churches?
The core text of the Lord's Prayer is identical across Catholic and Protestant traditions. The only difference is that many Protestant churches add a doxology at the end: 'For Thine is the kingdom, and the power, and the glory, forever. Amen.' Catholics do not include this doxology in the prayer itself, but the priest prays a similar line ('For the kingdom, the power, and the glory are yours, now and forever') immediately after the Our Father during Mass. The doxology appears in some early manuscripts of Matthew but not in the oldest and most reliable ones, which is why the Catholic Church treats it as a separate liturgical response rather than part of the prayer itself.
Is a Lord's Prayer card a good gift for someone who is not Catholic?
Yes — the Lord's Prayer is the one prayer that every Christian denomination shares. Catholics, Protestants, Orthodox Christians, and non-denominational Christians all pray the Our Father. This makes a Lord's Prayer card the most universally appropriate Christian prayer card you can give. It is a thoughtful gift for interfaith families, ecumenical events, non-Catholic friends who are curious about Catholicism, and anyone — regardless of denomination — who finds comfort in the words Jesus taught us.
How durable is this laminated prayer card?
Our laminated prayer cards are sealed between two layers of protective plastic film that resist water, bending, skin oils, and everyday friction. This card is designed for years of daily carry in a wallet, purse, prayer book, Bible, or pocket. It is durable enough to carry every day for the rest of your life — which is fitting, because the Our Father is a prayer you will pray every day for the rest of your life.
