Many have made a mantra out of the Lord's prayer. What did Jesus say about that?

If you do not repeat the Lord's prayer daily - When you get to the line...
"Give us this day our daily bread"Do you then say, quote; - "Give us this day (and tuesday, thursday and saturday) our daily bread" - recounting the days which you do not use the Lord's prayer?
Where Jesus teaches, quote; "#use not vain repetitions,# as the heathen do: for they think that they shall be heard for their much speaking."
#[From Βάττος Battos (a proverbial stammerer) and G3056; to stutter, that is, (by implication) to prate tediously: - use vain repetitions.
(Together with the negative 'may')]
What the Lord refers to here is immediately repeated stanzas again and again.
BTW - FYI; The TR was used by the Lord for centuries - unlike your text as cooked up by your Liberal Anglican popish sympathising brothers.
