Article 3 THE SEVEN PETITIONS
2805
The second series of petitions unfolds with the same movement as certain
Eucharistic epicleses: as an offering up of our expectations, that draws down
upon itself the eyes of the Father of mercies. They go up from us and concern
us from this very moment, in our present world: “give us . . . forgive us
. . . lead us not … deliver us….” the fourth and fifth petitions
concern our life as such – to be fed and to be healed of sin; the last two
concern our battle for the victory of life – that battle of prayer.
