Hallowed Be Thy Name: Luther on the First Three Petitions of the Lord’s Prayer

Episode Description

In this episode, we continue our journey through the Large Catechism with Martin Luther as our guide, focusing on the first three petitions of the Lord’s Prayer:

“Hallowed be Thy name.

Thy kingdom come.

Thy will be done.”

Before we ask for daily bread or forgiveness, Christ teaches us to desire above all things the holiness of God’s name, the coming of His kingdom, and the triumph of His gracious will. Luther shows us that these petitions are not empty phrases, but bold, childlike prayers against the devil, the world, and our sinful flesh.

This episode includes a devotional introduction, a full reading of Luther’s teaching, and a closing encouragement to support our ongoing confessional Lutheran ministry and charitable work.

May God’s name be kept holy among us, His kingdom come to us, and His will be done for us.
