Luther on why we pray the Lord's Prayer

Since this prayer has its source in the Lord, it has got to be undoubtedly the highest, noblest and best prayer, for were He to have known of a better one, this pious, faithful schoolmaster, He would have also taught it to us.

From "Lord's Prayer - Commentary on Luther's Catechisms" by Albrecht Peters, page 10.
