Description: What are we asking God the Father when in the Lord’s prayer, we plead, “thy Kingdom come”? The Catholic Catechism states , “The Kingdom of God lies ahead of us. It is brought near in the Word Incarnate. (Jesus Christ)It is proclaimed throughout the whole Gospel. In Christ’s death and Resurrection, it has come....In the Eucharist. It is actually in our midst. When Christ hands it over to the Father, the kingdom will come in glory. St. Cyprian speculates the Kingdom of God may even mean Christ Himself coming into our lives. In the context of the Lord’s prayer, “thy kingdom come,” is referring primarily to the final coming of the reign of God through Christ’s return. Since Pentecost the coming of God’s reign is the work of the Holy Spirit....The Kingdom of God is righteousness and peace and joy in the Holy Spirit. The end times in which we are living is the age of the outpouring of the Holy Spirit. This is Peggy Stanton and this has been the Order of Malta’s Minute with the Catechism.
