St Philaret of Moscow, in Blackmore, 1845

Part 2, 5. On the First Petition

Q. Is not God’s Name holy?

A. Doubtless it is holy in itself. Holy is His Name. Luke i. 49.

Q. How then can it yet be hallowed?

A. It may be hallowed in men; that is, His eternal holiness may be manifested in them.

Q. How?

A. First, when we, having in our thoughts and heart the Name of God, so live as His holiness requires, and thus glorify God; secondly, when others also, seeing our good lives, glorify God.

Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works, and glorify your Father which is in Heaven. Mat. v. 16.
