III. “Thy Will Be Done on Earth as It is in Heaven”
2825
“Although he was a Son, [Jesus] learned obedience through what he
suffered.”104 How much more reason have we sinful creatures to
learn obedience – we who in him have become children of adoption. We ask our
Father to unite our will to his Son’s, in order to fulfill his will, his plan
of salvation for the life of the world. We are radically incapable of this, but
united with Jesus and with the power of his Holy Spirit, we can surrender our
will to him and decide to choose what his Son has always chosen: to do what is
pleasing to the Father.105
