VI. “And Lead Us not into Temptation”
2854
When we ask to be delivered from the Evil One, we pray as well to be freed from
all evils, present, past, and future, of which he is the author or instigator.
In this final petition, the Church brings before the Father all the distress of
the world. Along with deliverance from the evils that overwhelm humanity, she
implores the precious gift of peace and the grace of perseverance in
expectation of Christ’s return By praying in this way, she anticipates in
humility of faith the gathering together of everyone and everything in him who
has “the keys of Death and Hades,” who “is and who was and who
is to come, the Almighty.”174
