III. The Prayer of the Church
2771
In the Eucharist, the Lord’s Prayer also reveals the eschatological character
of its petitions. It is the proper prayer of “the end-time,” the time
of salvation that began with the outpouring of the Holy Spirit and will be
fulfilled with the Lord’s return. the petitions addressed to our Father, as
distinct from the prayers of the old covenant, rely on the mystery of salvation
already accomplished, once for all, in Christ crucified and risen.
