To meet new people and learn things you never knew about your confessional faith as a Lutheran, visit us on Sunday mornings at 10:30 in the Student Center to participate in Vicar Monterastelli's study on Christian prayer. Today we finished discussing the second petition in the Lord's prayer, "Thy kingdom come...". To find out in detail what we discussed see Vicar for materials, but one thing I can give you is a tiny project a few of us worked on.
Supposedly, you can find the Lord's prayer in the Psalms, the book of prayer. Among other things fornd in Psalms, this is true and a few of us did a little digging and found two psalms for this petition. Why two do you ask? Well, when we ask for God's kingdom to come, it is a twofold request. Not only do we pray for the Holy Ghost to come through the Father's word and sacrament, but also we pray for Christ's return. So for the "now" pray Psalm 43 and for the second coming reflect on Psalm 50. More on this project to come!!
Even so, Lord JESUS, quickly come!
