No nobler prayer

"Therefore, there is no nobler prayer to be found upon earth than the Lord's Prayer.  We pray it daily (Matt. 6:11) because it has this excellent testimony, that God loves to hear it.  We ought not to surrender this for all the riches of the world.

Martin Luther, "Large Catechism," part 3, para. 23, "Concordia, The Lutheran Confessions"
