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!
