Catechism Reading:

Give us this day our daily bread.

What does this mean?

God certainly gives daily bread to everyone without our prayers,

even to all evil people,

but we pray in this petition that God would lead us to realize this

and to receive our daily bread with thanksgiving.

What is meant by daily bread?

Daily bread includes everything that has to do with the support

and needs of the body,

such as food, drink, clothing, shoes, house, home,

land, animals, money, goods,

a devout husband or wife, devout children,

devout workers, devout and faithful rulers,

good government, good weather, peace, health, self control,

good reputation, good friends, faithful neighbors, and the like.
