Catechesis: Our Father, 1st Petition

Since we call God our Father in this prayer, it is our duty always to act and behave ourselves as godly children, that He may not receive shame, but honor and praise from us.—LC III:39

In this petition we pray for exactly what God demands in the Second Commandment.—LC III:45

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