Christian Prayer›SECTION TWO THE LORD'S PRAYER›Article 1 "THE SUMMARY OF THE WHOLE GOSPEL"›III. The Prayer of the Church
From this unshakeable faith springs forth the hope that sustains each of the seven petitions, which express the groanings of the present age, this time of patience and expectation during which "it does not yet appear what we shall be." The Eucharist and the Lord's Prayer look eagerly for the Lord's return, "until he comes."
