Article 1 “THE SUMMARY OF THE WHOLE GOSPEL”
2761
The Lord’s Prayer “is truly the summary of the whole
gospel.”7 “Since the Lord . . . after handing over the
practice of prayer, said elsewhere, ‘Ask and you will receive,’ and since
everyone has petitions which are peculiar to his circumstances, the regular and
appropriate prayer [the Lord’s Prayer] is said first, as the foundation of
further desires.”8
