Lord's Day 38

103 Q.  What is God's will for you
        in the fourth commandment?

    A.  First,
          that the gospel ministry and education for it be maintained,^1
          and that, especially on the festive day of rest,
          I regularly attend the assembly of God's people^2
            to learn what God's Word teaches,^3
            to participate in the sacraments,^4
            to pray to God publicly,^5
            and to bring Christian offerings for the poor.^6

        Second,
          that every day of my life
            I rest from my evil ways,
            let the Lord work in me through his Spirit,
            and so begin already in this life
          the eternal Sabbath.^7
