VI. “And Lead Us not into Temptation”

2849
Such a battle and such a victory become possible only through prayer. It is by
his prayer that Jesus vanquishes the tempter, both at the outset of his public
mission and in the ultimate struggle of his agony.¹⁵⁹ In this petition
to our heavenly Father, Christ unites us to his battle and his agony. He urges
us to vigilance of the heart in communion with his own. Vigilance is
“custody of the heart,” and Jesus prayed for us to the Father:
“Keep them in your name.”¹⁶⁰ The Holy Spirit constantly seeks
to awaken us to keep watch.¹⁶¹ Finally, this petition takes on all its
dramatic meaning in relation to the last temptation of our earthly battle; it asks
for final perseverance. “Lo, I am coming like a thief! Blessed is he who
is awake.”¹⁶²
