come Thy will be done on earth as in heaven

2822 is the Will of our Father "that all men be saved and come to the knowledge of truth" (1 Tim 2, 3-4). He " is patient, willing that any should perish "(2 Pt 3, 9, cf. Mt 18, 14). His command, which summarizes all the others, and who says all his will, is that" we love each other as he loved us "(Jn 13, 34, cf. 1 Jn 3, 4, Lk 10, 25-37).
2823" He has made known the mystery of his will, what good purpose he filed in advance ... unite all things under one head, Christ ... In him we were apart, according to the predetermined plan of him who accomplishes all things according to His will. "(Eph 1: 9-11). We urge that happen fully what good purpose on earth as it is already in heaven.
2824 is in Christ, and his human will, the Will of the Father and was perfectly fulfilled once for all. Jesus said on entering this world: "Behold, I come to do, O God, thy will" (Heb 10, 7, Psalm 40, 7). Only Jesus can say: "I always do what pleases Him" (Jn 8, 29). In the prayer of his agony, he agrees fully with that Will: "That does not make my will but yours" (Lk 22, 42, cf. Jn 4, 34, 5, 30, 6, 38). That is why Jesus "has delivered for our sins according to the will of God "(Gal 1, 4)." By the which will we are sanctified through the offering of the Body of Jesus Christ "(Heb 10, 10).
Jesus 2825 , "while he was a Son, he learned that he suffered obedience" (Heb 5, 8). How much more reason, we, creatures and sinners, now in her adopted children. We ask our Father to unite our will with that of her Son to do His will, his plan of salvation for the life of the world. We're completely powerless, but united with Jesus and the power of his Spirit Holy, we give him our will and decide to choose what his Son has always chosen: to what pleases the Father (cf. Jn 8, 29):
In adhering to Christ, we can become one spirit with him, and thereby accomplish his will in this way, it will be perfect on earth as in heaven (Origen, gold. 26).
Consider how Jesus Christ teaches us to be humble, making us see that our virtue does not depend on our work alone but by the grace of God. He orders by every believer who prays to do so universally throughout the land. Because it does not say 'Thy will be done' in me or you, 'but over all the earth ': so that the error is banned, but the truth prevails, the Deputy will be destroyed, that virtue will flourish once more, and that the earth no longer differ from heaven (St. John Chrysostom hom. in Mt 19, 5: PG 57, 280B).
2826 is through prayer that we can "discern what the will of God" (Rom 12: 2, Eph 5, 17) and get "to accomplish consistency" (Heb 10, 36). Jesus teaches us that we enter into the kingdom of heaven, not by words, but "doing the will of my Father in heaven" (Mt 7, 21).
2827 "If someone does the will of God, that one God hears "(John 9, 31, cf. 1 Jn 5, 14). Such is the power of prayer of the Church in the name of his Lord, especially in the Eucharist is a communion of intercession with the All Holy Mother of God (cf. Lk 1, 38. 49) and all the saints who were "pleasing to the Lord wanted her to have Will:
We can still, without hurting the truth, bring these words: 'Thy will be done on earth as in heaven' by them: in the Church as our Lord Jesus Christ in the bride who has been betrothed, as in the Bridegroom who has accomplished the Father's will (St. Augustine, serm. Dom. 2, 6, 24: PL 34, 1279).
