Almighty
and eternal God, Your Son Jesus triumphed over the prince of demons and freed us

through Jesus Christ, our Lord, who lives and reigns with You and the Holy
Spirit, one God, now and forever. Amen.

Catechism Reading:
And lead us
not into temptation.
What does this
mean?
God tempts no
one.
We pray in
this petition that God would guard and keep us
so that the
devil, the world, and our sinful nature
may not
deceive us or mislead us
into false
belief, despair, and other great shame and vice.
Although we
are attacked by these things,
we pray that
we may finally overcome them and win the victory.
But deliver us
from evil.
What does this
mean?
We pray in
this petition, in summary,
that our
Father in heaven would rescue us
from every
evil of body and soul, possessions and reputation,
and finally,
when our last hour comes, give us a blessed end,
and graciously
take us from this valley of sorrow
to Himself in
heaven.
