St. Paul’s Anglican Church took to social media to post a video of multiple people reading a new version of the ‘Lord’s Prayer.’ The original version of the prayer, as recorded in the Book of Matthew, is one of the most sacred prayers in Christianity. Online commentators were enraged by the sacrilegious woke prayer, and many commentators let the church know how they felt in impassioned replies.
“Our mother and our Father, our beloved parent in whom we move and breathe and have our being,” the prayer began. “The glorious hallowing of your name shines forth in the diversity of your children. May your peace and love, justice and equality, inclusion and belonging reign here on Earth as in Heaven… Be with
those who suffer as a result of living as the fullest truth of your Divine Child.”
“Grant that our transgender loved ones might have their daily needs met, that they
might find employment without discrimination, that they may have access to medical
care without fear, that they might have their rights and lives protected, that
they might find a loving, safe community to belong to and call their own,” the video asked.
“Forgive us for the ways that we have fallen short and failed your beloved transgender children
as well as our many trespasses,” the Anglicans prayed. ” Forgive us for the times we turned away or did not care, for the times we laughed or judged their unique expression of your image, just as we forgive those who might have failed to see, hear, and understand us.
“Lead us away from the temptation to be complacent in the face of injustice,” the prayer concluded. ”
but instead, give us the courage to stand up for and with your beloved children in our minds and our hearts, to those who think, act, and experience life differently. Help us do our part to make your love and justice reign in our diverse, beautiful world, now and always. Amen.
Many Christians were incensed by the blasphemous prayer. “I honestly don’t know why they have to co-opt everything just so they can affirm their own sin? If you are a true Christian, all of that stuff just doesn’t matter. We all are then new creatures that must leave the former life behind. Not drag it along like an anchor,” one user on X replied.
This is not the only woke prayer to garner controversy on social media. Recently, a pastor took the stage at the 2025 Democratic National Committee (DNC) and gave a progressive prayer. She led the crowd in an interfaith prayer that referenced ‘the Universe’ instead of God. Many users objected to the prayer and found it offensive. “May the endless boundless energy of the universe wrap around you with awe, and love, and well-becoming. Amen, ashe, ameen, and may we together make it so,” the pastor prayed.
Many commentators criticized the prayer’s absurdity. “I wish I was surprised. The DNC is a joke,” wrote former Republican Representative Derrick Evans. Another user reacted by saying, ” First they erased biology, then they erased morality, now they’re trying to negotiate with the cosmos?” Another commenter quoted scripture to condemn the prayer.

“Philippians 4:6 – Be careful for nothing; but in every thing by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known unto God. They are praying to the enemy. It is as simple as that…,” said one poster. “Oh look, they still didn’t get enough, now they want to get something from the universe 🙂 well, they are asking from the right entity – I hope they get the love they’ve been missing,” wrote another.
