Did the Catholic Church ever prescribe a single unified text of the Lord's Prayer to be said on all occasions by all the faithful?

Over a period of time, one comes across versions of the Lord's Prayer each worded in a unique manner. There appears to be slight inconsistency among the texts of the Prayer one is taught in Catechism, that said during the Holy Mass and the Prayer said at home or in private. Of course, the Lord said " Pray like this" when he taught the disciples to pray (Mtt 6:9-13). A little bit of inconsistency in the Prayers said during various occasions, and by people belonging to different cultures is therefore, understandable. For instance: > Our Father in heaven Vs Abba Father in heaven > Hallowed be they name Vs Holy be your name. > Give us today our daily bread Vs Give us this day our daily bread > Forgive us our sins Vs Forgive us our trespasses > As we forgive those who sin against us Vs As we have forgiven those who sin against us > Bring us not into temptation Vs Do not let us fall into temptation > Deliver from evil Vs Deliver us from the evil one Would it not, however, be beautiful if the faithful all across the world recited the Lord's Prayer following one single unified text ? My question therefore is: Did the Catholic Church ever prescribe a single unified text of the Lord's Prayer to be said on all occasions by all the faithful ?
