Citação 10: Lutero
The term 'our Father' refers to a confidence that we can place solely in God. No other can assist us to get to heaven than this one Father. The Scriptures say, 'No one ascends into heaven but he who descends from heaven, the Son of man' [John 3:13]. In his skin and on his back we too must ascend. Thus all who are heavy-laden, and even those who do not know the meaning of these words, may well pray this prayer.
Martin Luther, An Exposition of the Lord's Prayer [...], 1519; AE 42:23
