II. Prayer of Petition
2632
Christian petition is centered on the desire and search for the Kingdom to
come, in keeping with the teaching of Christ.107 There is a hierarchy
in these petitions: we pray first for the Kingdom, then for what is necessary
to welcome it and cooperate with its coming. This collaboration with the
mission of Christ and the Holy Spirit, which is now that of the Church, is the
object of the prayer of the apostolic community.108 It is the prayer of
Paul, the apostle par excellence, which reveals to us how the divine solicitude
for all the churches ought to inspire Christian prayer.109 By prayer
every baptized person works for the coming of the Kingdom.
