124. What is the third petition?
“Thy will be done in earth, as it is in heaven;” that is, grant that we and all men renounce our own will,[1] and without gainsaying obey Thy will, which alone is good;[2] so that every one may fulfill his office and calling as willingly and faithfully[3] as the angels do in heaven.[4]
[1]Mt. 16:24. [2]Lk. 22:42; Tit. 2:12. [3]I Cor. 7:24. [4]Ps. 103:20-21; *Rom. 12:2; *Heb. 13:21.
