II. “Thy Kingdom Come”
2816
In the New Testament, the word basileia can be translated by
“kingship” (abstract noun), “kingdom” (concrete noun) or
“reign” (action noun). the Kingdom of God lies ahead of us. It is
brought near in the Word incarnate, it is proclaimed throughout the whole Gospel,
and it has come in Christ’s death and Resurrection. the Kingdom of God has been
coming since the Last Supper and, in the Eucharist, it is in our midst. the
kingdom will come in glory when Christ hands it over to his Father:
