I thank you, my heavenly Father, through Jesus Christ, Your dear Son,
that You have kept me this night from all harm and danger; and I pray
that You would keep me this day also from sin and every evil, that all
my doings and life may please You. For into Your hands I commend
myself, my body and soul, and all things. Let Your holy angel be
with me, that the evil foe may have no power over me. Amen. |

soul, and all things. Let Your holy angel be with me, that the
evil foe may have no power over me. Amen. |

Asking a Blessing
The eyes of all look to You [O Lord,] and You give them their food at
the proper time. You open Your hand and satisfy the desires of
every living thing [Psalm 145:15-16]. Lord God, heavenly Father,
bless us and these Your gifts which we receive from Your bountiful
goodness, through Jesus Christ, our Lord. Amen. |
|

Returning Thanks
Give thanks to the Lord, for He is good. His love endures forever.
[He] gives food to every creature. He provides food for the cattle
and for the young ravens when they call. His pleasure is not in
the strength of the horse, nor His delight in the legs of a man; the
Lord delights in those who fear Him, who put their hope in His unfailing
love [Psalm 136: 1, 25; 147:9-110]. |
|
September 10 |
We thank You, Lord God,
heavenly Father, for all Your benefits, through Jesus Christ, our Lord,
who lives and reigns with You and the Holy Spirit forever and ever.
Amen. |

The Close of the
Commandments
What does God say about all these commandments?
He says: "I, the Lord your God, am a jealous God, punishing the children
for the sin of the fathers to the third and fourth generation of those
who hate Me, but showing love to a thousand generations of those who
live Me and keep My Commandments" [Exodus 20:5-6].
What does this mean? God threatens to punish
all who break these commandments. Therefore, we should fear His
wrath and not do anything against them. But He promises grace and
every blessing to all who keep these commandments. Therefore, we
should also love and trust in Him and gladly do what He commands. |

The First Article - Creation
I believe in God, the Father Almighty, Maker of heaven and earth.
What does this mean? I believe that God has made me and all
creature; that He has given me my body and soul, eyes, ears, and all my
members, my reason and all my senses, and still takes care of them.
He also gives me clothing and shoes, food
and drink, house and home, wife and children, land, animals, and all I
have. He richly and daily provides me with all that I need to
support this body and life.
He defends me against all danger and
guards and protects me from all evil.
All this He does only out of fatherly,
divine goodness and mercy, without any merit or worthiness in me.
For all this it is my duty to thank and praise, serve and obey Him.
This is most certainly true. |

The Second Article -
Redemption [I believe] in Jesus
Christ, His only son, our Lord, who was conceived by the Holy Spirit,
born of the Virgin Mary, suffered under Pontius Pilate, was crucified,
died and was buried. He descended into hell. The third day
He rose again from the dead. He ascended into heaven and sits at
the right hand of God, the Father Almighty. From thence He will
come to judge the living and the dead.
What does this mean? I believe that Jesus Christ, true God, begotten of
the father from eternity, and also true man, born of the Virgin Mary, is
my Lord who has redeemed me, a lost and condemned person, purchases and
won me from all sins, from death, and from the power of the devil; not
with gold or silver, but with His holy, precious blood and with His
innocent suffering and death,
that I may be His own and live under Him
in His kingdom and serve Him in everylasting righteousness, innocence,
and blessedness,
just as He is risen from the dead, lives
and reigns to all eternity. This is most certainly true. |

1 John 2:2 He is the atoning
sacrifice for our sins, and not only for ours but also for the sins of

The Third Article -
Sanctification I believe in the
Holy Spirit, the holy Christian church, the communion of saints, the
forgiveness of sins, the resurrection of the body, and the life
everlasting. Amen.
What does this mean? I believe that I
cannot by my own reason or strength believe in Jesus Christ, my Lord, or
come to Him; but the Holy Spirit has called me by the Gospel,
enlightened me with His gifts, sanctified and kept me in the true faith.
In the same way He calls, gathers,
enlightens, and sanctifies the whole Christian church on earth, and
keeps it with Jesus Christ in the one true faith.
In this Christian church He daily and
richly forgives all my sins and the sins of all believers.
On the Last Day He will raise me and all
the dead, and give eternal life to me and all believers in Christ.
This is most certainly true. |
|
February 6 |

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! |
|

the truth; Your word is truth.

also.

Father gives us His Holy Spirit, so that by His grace we believe His
holy Word and lead Godly lives here in time and there in eternity. |

Thy will be done on earth as
it is in heaven.
What does this mean? The good and gracious will of God is done even
without our prayer, but we pray in this petition that it may be done
among us also.
How is God's will done? God's will is done when He breaks and hinders
every evil plan and purpose of the devil, the world, and our sinful
nature, which do not want us to hallow God's name or let His kingdom
come; and when He strengthens and keeps us firm in His Word and faith
until we die. This is His good and gracious will. |
|

Give us this day our daily
bread.
What does this mean? God certainly gives daily bread to everyone without
our prayers, even to all evil people, but we pray in this petition that
God would lead us to realize this and to receive our daily bread with
thanksgiving.
What is meant by daily bread? Daily bread includes everything that has
to do with the support and needs of the body, such as food, drink,
clothing, shoes, house, home, land, animals, money, goods, a devout
husband or wife, devout children, devout workers, devout and faithful
rulers, good government, good weather, peace, health, self-control, good
reputation, good friends, faithful neighbors, and the like. |

|
March 20 |
And forgive us our
trespasses as we forgive those who trespass against us.
What does this mean? We pray in this petition that our Father in heaven
would not look at our sins, or deny our prayer because of them. We
are neither worthy of the things for which we pray, nor have we deserved
them, but we ask that He would give them all to us by grace, for we
daily sin much and surely deserve nothing but punishment. So we
too will sincerely forgive and gladly do good to those who sin against
us. |

temptation.
What does this mean? God tempts no one. We pray in this petition
that God would guard and keep us so that the devil, the world, and our
sinful nature may not deceive us or mislead us into false belief,
despair, and other great shame and vice. Although we are attacked
by these things, we pray that we may finally overcome them and win the
victory.
Proverbs 1:10 My Son, if sinners entice you, do not give in to them. |
|
April 7 |
But deliver us from evil.
What does this mean? We pray in this petition, in summary, that our
Father in heaven would rescue us from every evil of body and soul,
possessions and reputation, and finally, when our last hour comes, give
us a blessed end, and graciously take us from this valley of sorrow to
Himself in heaven. |
|
April 15 |

for He Himself has commanded us to pray in this way and has promised to
hear us. Amen, amen, which means "yes, yes, it shall be so." |

The Sacrament of Holy
Baptism - First
What is Baptism? Baptism is not just plain water, but it is the water
included in God's command and combined with God's word.
Which is that word of God? Christ our Lord

all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and
of the Holy Spirit" [Matthew 28:19]. |
|
April 29 |

Peter replied, "Repent and be baptized, every one of you, in the name of
Jesus Christ for the forgiveness of your sins. And you will
receive the gift of the Holy Spirit. The promise is for you and
your children and for all who are far off - for all whom the Lord our
God will call." |

rescues from death and the devil, and gives eternal salvation to all who
believe this, as the words and promises of God declare.

the last chapter of Mark: "Whoever believes and is baptized will be
saved, but whoever does not believe will be condemned" [Mark 16:16]. |
