Catechesis: Lord’s Prayer First Petition

To hallow means the same thing as to praise, magnify, and honor both in word and deed. (LC III:46)

Likewise, we should pray for ourselves who have God's Word but are not thankful for it, nor live like we ought according to the Word. If you pray for this with your heart, you can be sure it pleases God. For He will not hear anything more dear to Him than that His honor and praise is exalted above everything else and that HIs Word is taught in its purity and is considered precious and dear. (LC III:47, 48)
