In response to the Feb. 16 commentary “Pope’s suggested change to the Lord’s Prayer could harm the faithful,” I think a change in the wording of the Our Father in English will help, not harm the faithful. I am old enough to remember when we prayed “Father, Son, and Holy Ghost.”
The change in the language to “Holy Spirit” led to more clarity.
The mental image of God “leading us into temptation” is not helpful to Catholics and is a theologically inaccurate image of God.
In Spanish, the language of the Our Father already says, “Let us not fall into temptation.”
