"Ama Namin" is the Tagalog translation of the Lord's Prayer, also known as the "Our Father." It is a central prayer in Christianity, recited by many denominations, including Roman Catholics and various Protestant churches, in their respective Tagalog-language services and personal devotions. The translation is derived from the Koine Greek text of the New Testament, specifically the Gospel of Matthew (Matthew 6:9-13) and the Gospel of Luke (Luke 11:2-4). The phrase "Ama Namin" directly translates to "Our Father" in English. The full prayer serves as a model for prayer, encompassing praise, petition, and submission to God's will. The specific wording and structure may vary slightly depending on the specific translation tradition being used.
