II. “Thy Kingdom Come”
2818
In the Lord’s Prayer, “thy kingdom come” refers primarily to the
final coming of the reign of God through Christ’s return.88 But, far
from distracting the Church from her mission in this present world, this desire
commits her to it all the more strongly. Since Pentecost, the coming of that
Reign is the work of the Spirit of the Lord who “complete(s) his work on
earth and brings us the fullness of grace.”89
