Antiochene prayer for the Truth

Antiochene prayer of protection for the

One True Church - the Jesus Church

(A favored Antiochene and much used Lutheran Prayer)

Our Father who art in heaven, hollowed be thy name. Yes, Lord God, dear Father, hollowed be Your name, both in us and throughout the whole world.

Destroy and root out the abominations, idolatry, and heresy of those who war against the Church: all false teachers and the divisive spirits who wrongly use Your name and in shameful ways take it in vain.

They horribly blaspheme and insistently boast that in Your name they teach Your Word, when in reality it is the devil’s deceit and trickery in the guise of Your name by which they seduce many poor souls throughout the world, even killing and shedding much blood, and in such persecution they believe that they render You a divine service.

Dear Lord God, convert and restrain them, that together we may hallow and praise Your name both with true and pure doctrine and with a good and holy life.

Restrain those who are unwilling to be converted so that they are forced to cease from misusing, defiling, and dishonoring Your holy name and from misleading the poor people. Amen.
