Panem nostrum cotidianum da nobis hodie


Two things I have asked of thee, deny them not to me before I die.

--Remove far from me vanity, and lying words.

--Give me neither beggary, nor riches: give me only the necessaries of life:

Lest perhaps being filled, I should be tempted to deny, and say: Who is the Lord?
or being compelled by poverty, I should steal, and forswear the name of my God.
