A. Hallowed be thy name means, Help us to really know you,1 to bless, worship, and praise you for all your works and for all that shines forth from them: your almighty power, wisdom, kindness, justice, mercy, and truth.2 And it means, Help us to direct all our living- what we think, say, and do- so that your name will never be blasphemed because of us but always honored and praised.3
