Catechism Reading:
The Introduction
Our Father who art in heaven.
What does this mean?
With these words God tenderly invites us to believe
that He is our true Father
and that we are His true children,
so that with all boldness and confidence we may ask Him
as dear children ask their dear father.
The First Petition
Hallowed be Thy name.
What does this mean?
God's name is certainly holy in itself,
but we pray in this petition that it may be kept holy among us also.
How is God's name kept holy?
God's name is kept holy
when the Word of God is taught in its truth and purity,
and we, as the children of God, also lead holy lives according to it.
Help us to do this, dear Father in heaven!
But anyone who teaches or lives contrary to God's Word
profanes the name of God among us.
Protect us from this, heavenly Father!
