Our Father (2)

BoyPraying.jpgYour Kingdom come,
Your Kingdom has come. Your Son has come in the flesh as the Inaugurator of this Kingdom. Just as you are perfect in love, this kingdom is based on your perfection in love. You have inaugurated a Kingdom in which all humankind is reconciled to you, among itself, and with all creation.


Your Kingdom is not about power and lofty self-congratulatory institutional achievements; it is about the embodiment of a self-giving love utterly reflective of your nature in all eternity. In the life, death and resurrection of the Son, the fullness of the Kingdom is embodied. In him, your Kingdom has come.


your will be done on earth as it is in heaven.
You have a dream. You dream that humankind shall be brought into this reconciled relationship of perfect love with you, among one another, and with all creation. It is a dream born in eternity, in heaven, and which will be realised on earth.


In all eternity, you have existed as a community in perfect love. Your Spirit has been the bond of love between the Father and the Son. And this Spirit has been given to us that we too may be brought into like relationship with one another and with you. The Spirit is given that your Kingdom may be established in and through our lives.


In participation in your dream, make me an agent of the Kingdom. Help me to embody the Kingdom in all its perfect love, like Christ. Use me not so much as a lofty proclaimer, but rather, a humble incarnational agent of the Kingdom.
