Luther’s Large Catechism: The Introduction to the Lord’s Prayer

Episode Description

In this episode, we read from the Large Catechism by Martin Luther, focusing on his introduction to the Lord’s Prayer.

Before explaining each petition, Luther first teaches why we should pray at all. Prayer is not optional for the Christian—it is commanded by God and grounded in His promise to hear us. When Christ teaches us to say “Our Father,” He invites us into bold confidence before the throne of grace.

In a world filled with anxiety and self-reliance, Luther calls us back to childlike faith: to pray because God has told us to pray—and because He delights to answer.

We also briefly mention our ongoing charity efforts to provide daily bread and Christian mercy to those in need. If you would like to support this work, your prayers and generosity are greatly appreciated.
