From John's funeral card

      Our Father in the heavens, let your name be sanctified. Let your kingdom come. Let your will take place, as in heaven, also upon earth.
      Give us today our bread for this day and forgive us our debts, as we have also forgiven our debtors. And do not bring us into temtation but deliver us from the wicked one. For if you forgive men their trespasses, your heavenly Father will also forgive you. Whereas if you do not forgive men their trespasses neither will your Fathe forgive your trespasses.
