Our prayers of petition begin with repentance, but then lead us deeper as we seek to understand God’s providence. We search for the presence and movement of God in our lives. We prayerfully await for the coming of His kingdom in our world today.
As the Catechism of the Catholic Church teaches us: “Christian petition is centered on the desire and search for the Kingdom to come, in keeping with the teaching of Christ.”
The Lord Jesus announced the coming of his kingdom.
