Question
What does the First Petition mean?
Answer
Hallowed be Thy name.
That is...
The name of God is indeed holy in itself; but we pray in this petition that it may be hallowed also among us.
But he that teaches and lives otherwise than the Word of God teaches, profanes the name of God among us. From this preserve us, heavenly Father!
