ALMIGHTY God, our Heavenly Father, Who dost feed the birds and clothe the flowers, and carest for us as a father for his children: We beseech Thee, graciously guard us against distrust and vain over-carefulness, and help us, through Thy Holy Spirit, to live to the hallowing of Thy name, the coming of Thy Kingdom and the doing of Thy will, so that we may cast all our care on Thee and in unwavering faith abide trustingly in Thee; through Jesus Christ, Thy Son, our Lord, who lives and reigns with the Father and the Holy Ghost, ever one God, world without end. Amen.   (Oremus, 1925, p.66).

#60 The True Church Honors Marriage

Posted on by

Eighth, nobody can deny that we praise and honor marriage as a divine, blessed, and well-pleasing ordinance of God’s creation for the procreation of children and the prevention of carnal unchastity. We have not newly invented it, nor have we of ourselves newly devised it, much less have we forbidden it, like innovators. But just as God from the beginning instituted it, and Christ confirmed it [Matt 19:4–6], and the apostles and the ancient church honored and taught it, so have we remained in this same ancient rule and ordinance of God. In this we have been like the ancient church and have indeed been its true and proper members. So you can see that here again the papists accuse us falsely of innovation.  (Luther’s Works, v.41, p.197)

#59 The True Church Honors the Government

Posted on by

Seventh, nobody can deny that with the ancient church we hold and teach that one should honor and not curse the temporal powers and should not compel them to kiss the pope’s feet. This is also not something which we have newly devised, for St. Peter in II Peter 2 [:10] curses those who would invent and in the future do such new things. And St. Paul is with us in Romans 13 [:1–7], as is the whole of ancient Christendom, so that in this we are not, nor may we be called, innovators—as the papists call us, thereby not only slandering us, but God himself. But we are and belong to the ancient, holy, and apostolic church, as its true children and members. For we have always most faithfully taught obedience to our temporal authority, be it emperor or princes. We ourselves have lived accordingly and prayed for them with all our heart. (Luther’s Works, v.41, p.196-197)

GRANT, O Lord, that Thy servants, devoted to Thy service, and confiding in Thy protection, may obtain the blessing which they humbly implore; that being at rest under Thy defense, they may not be left destitute of assistance for this life, and may be prepared for the good things which are eternal; through Jesus Christ, Thy Son, our Lord, who lives and reigns with the Father and the Holy Ghost, ever one God, world without end. Amen.

(Oremus, 1925, p.65-66).

For Forgiveness 5.

Posted on by

WE have sinned, O Lord, we confess, like prodigal sons; we dare not look up to heaven: for it was thence we fell and became wretched; we have sinned against heaven and before Thee, and we are not worthy to be called Thy sons, we denounce ourselves, we need neither accusers nor witnesses, we have iniquity triumphing over us, we have evil conversation condemning us: Merciful Father, Only-Begotten Son, Holy Ghost, receive us penitent, and have mercy upon us. Amen. (Oremus, 1925, p.62).
