I guess you are reading with the protestant glasses of denial and rejecting a true understanding of the Lord’s Prayer.

The Lord’s Prayer

We should desire the glory and honor of God as the first intention of our prayer, no matter what we may be praying for. Thus, we pray that God’s name be honored and held holy. Then we pray that his will be done as perfectly among us on earth as his angels accomplish it in his heavenly kingdom. There would be no point in praying unless we wanted God’s will to be done. Nothing would be ultimately helpful to us if it were against his will, even if it is what we wanted.

Then, after these universal intentions—for God’s glory and for his will—we pray for the things we need in order to glorify him and be united to him. “Our daily bread” means all that we need to serve him here and now: first of all, his supernatural gift of his Body in the Holy Eucharist, and then the necessities of life we need each day.

Thus far, the prayer is all about positive things: God’s glory and his gifts to us. But there are also obstacles to his glory and his gifts. These are our sins and other people’s sins against us. We need God’s forgiveness for our ungratefulness in sinning, especially when we are in the act of asking him for good things, and of course we have to be willing to forgive others if we ourselves want to be forgiven.

I realize that Satan works real hard to convince protestants to believe the lies about God’s Truth.

God loves you and wants you to accept His Truth in love. As Jesus told us we need food for the soul.

I realize that Rome's Mary works real hard to convince Catholics to believe the information that she brings to earth because; for some reason; it didn't get included into the Bible.

“ first of all, his supernatural gift of his Body in the Holy Eucharist”

Never in the Lord’s Prayer.

You added it.

Very naughty ADSUM.
