Q.190. For what do we pray in the first request?

A. In the first request ( hallowed be your name[1]), we acknowledge that we and all human beings are completely incapable of honoring God properly and are even disinclined to do so.[2] We pray then that he would by his grace enable and incline us and others to know, to acknowledge, and to esteem him highly,[3] his titles,[4] attributes,[5] regulations, word,[6] works, and everything else by which he is pleased to reveal himself,[7] and to glorify him in thought, word,[8] and deed,[9] to the effect that he would thwart and do away with atheism,[10] spiritual ignorance,[11] idolatry[12] or any kind of desecration,[13] and whatever else dishonors him,[14] and that by his invincible providence, he would direct and regulate everything to his own glory.[15]
