The new version of the Our Father prayer is a revised translation approved by the Catholic Church in 2019, which changes the wording of certain phrases in the prayer.
The Our Father prayer originates from the Bible, specifically from the Gospel of Matthew and the Gospel of Luke in the New Testament. It is a prayer taught by Jesus to his disciples.
The Lord's Prayer, also known as the Our Father, consists of 54 words in the traditional English version.
The words to the 'Our Father' (or the Lord's) prayer can be found in the Bible New Testament in the book of Matthew, chapter 6 verses 9-13. A slightly different version is found in the book of Luke, chapter 11 verses 1-4.

A good version of a formal prayer is the Lord's prayer
Roman Catholic AnswerThere is a doxology that is added to the Our Father after the priest's concluding prayer in the Mass. Some Bible translations added that doxology as a "gloss" to the English translations of the Our Father in early protestant translations and they have used it as the ending of the prayer since then. It's kind of strange that they would adopt a liturgical prayer from the Mass as their own version of the Our Father, but there it is.
The old version of the Our Father prayer holds historical and traditional significance, reflecting the language and beliefs of its time. The modern version, while maintaining the core meaning, may use more contemporary language to resonate with current audiences. Both versions carry the same message of faith and devotion, but the differences highlight the evolution of language and interpretation over time.
Some alternative translations of the Lord's Prayer include versions from different Bible translations, such as the King James Version, the New International Version, and the Revised Standard Version. Additionally, there are modern interpretations and paraphrases of the prayer that aim to make it more accessible and relevant to contemporary audiences.
What is commonly referred to as the Lord's prayer, found in Luke 11:2-4 and a slightly different version of it in Matthew 6:9-13, is actually not a prayer but a pattern for a prayer. Neither is it the Lord's, for the Lord never prayed "Our Father" but "My Father", and He never prayed for forgiveness - He never needed it. "The Lord's prayer" is very useful for a new convert especially, to learn the basics of how to address God, the attitude of prayer and what to pray about, I wouldn't say it's beautiful, but it's brief and to the point as well as being instructive. If you would like to read the real Lord's prayer - it is found in John 17 (the entire chapter) and what a beautiful prayer it is!
