Q122: What is the first petition?
A122: Hallowed be Thy name; that is, grant us, first, rightly to know Thee, and to hallow, magnify and praise Thee,[1] in all Thy works, in which Thy power, goodness, justice, mercy and truth shine forth;[2] and further, that we so order our whole life, our thoughts, words and deeds, that Thy name may not be blasphemed, but honored and praised on our account.[3]
