At the orientation meeting last September I handed out Large Catechisms for each family, but didn't really explain the purpose. Luther wrote the Large Catechism for parents and pastors to expand what he writes in the Small Catechism. As I prepare to teach a portion of the Small Catechism each week, I often study the correlating passages from the Large Catechism. I always learn something new as I read it.
I wanted to provide each family with a copy as a support to parents as they hand the faith on to their children. The ideal scenario would be that parents read the portion of the Large Catechism that corresponds to those portions that we are learning in Midweek. If nothing else I hope it is a helpful resource, and I pray it is a tool that deepens your faith in our Lord Jesus Christ.
