January 9 – The Introduction and Meaning (p. 237)
Our Father who art in heaven.
What does this mean?
With these words God tenderly invites us to believe that He is our true Father and
that we are His true children, so that with all boldness and confidence we may ask
Him as dear children ask their dear father.

January 13 – The Fourth Petition and Meaning (p. 258)
Give us this day our daily bread.
 
What does this mean?
God certainly gives daily bread to everyone without our prayers, even to all evil
people, but we pray in this petition that God would lead us to realize this and to
receive our daily bread with thanksgiving.
 
What is meant by daily bread?
Daily bread includes everything that has to do with the support and needs of the
body, such as food, drink, clothing, shoes, house, home, land, animals, money,
goods, a devout husband or wife, devout children, devout workers, devout and
faithful rulers, good government, good weather, peace, health, self-control, good
reputation, good friends, faithful neighbors, and the like.
