Wartburg Speaks

"The deplorable, miserable condition which I discovered lately when I, too, was a visitor, has forced and urged me to prepare [publish] this Catechism, or Christian doctrine, in this small, plain, simple form." Martin Luther

The Small Catechism of Dr. Martin Luther








The Ten Commandments

The Third Commandment

You shall sanctify the holy day.

What does this mean?
We should fear and love God so that we do not despise preaching and His Word, but hold it sacred and gladly hear and learn it.

Almighty God, You have commanded us to remember the Sabbath day by keeping it holy. Grant that we may fear and love You so that we do not despise preaching and your Word, but hold it sacred and gladly hear and learn it; through Jesus Christ our Lord.
