We meant to get to Muhammad. Instead, this became the Lord's Prayer episode. Elder Harris writes from Brazil, asking why so many people there recite the Our Father. We open Matthew 6, where Jesus warns against praying to be seen and against vain repetitions, then gives a prayer, since your Father knows what you need before you ask.
We cover the Joseph Smith Translation's "suffer us not to be led into temptation," the Didache telling early Christians to pray it three times a day, and the Puritans' 1645 opening prayer about their own vileness. Plus Cromwell in Ireland, John Calvin cough drops, and how new the sinner's prayer is. We end on why a Catholic reciting it is an act of faith, and a reminder that nothing separates you from the love of Christ.
