Globish Prayers

Two Christian prayers in Globish:

Our Father,
Who comes to us from above,
Your name is holy.
Your rule will soon be here,
Your will will be executed, in this world, and in the above as well,
Give us today the food we need everyday,
And forgive what we do wrong
As we will also forgive the other persons who do wrong to us,
Do not lead us to have bad desires,
But, free us from all that is evil,
For your are the ruler of the above, and yours are the power, and highest honour for ever and ever.
Amen.

Hello, Mary,
Who was most holy,
God is with you,
Among all the women, you are the one who was most honoured,
And Jesus, the fruit coming from your body is also holy,
Holy Mary, Mother of God,
Pray for us wrong-doers at this very moment,
And at the time of our death,
Amen.

Which makes you realize how much archaic English exists in the versions (whether Catholic or Protestant) that English speakers commonly use.
