What does it mean to say, "Thy kingdom come"?
When we pray, "Thy kingdom come", we call for Christ to come again, as he promised, and for God's reign, which has already begun here on earth, to prevail definitively.
François Fénelon says, "To will everything that God wills, and to will it always, in all circumstances and without reservations: that is the kingdom of God which is entirely within." (YOUCAT question 520)
