II. “Thy Kingdom Come”
Even if it had not been
prescribed to pray for the coming of the kingdom, we would willingly have
brought forth this speech, eager to embrace our hope. In indignation the souls
of the martyrs under the altar cry out to the Lord: “O Sovereign Lord,
holy and true, how long before you judge and avenge our blood on those who
dwell upon the earth?” For their retribution is ordained for the end of
the world. Indeed as soon as possible, Lord, may your kingdom come!87
