Catechism for Young Children · Question 114 of 145
What is the third petition?
A.“Thy will be done in earth, as it is in heaven.”
What does this answer mean?
The third petition is 'Thy will be done in earth, as it is in heaven.' In heaven God's will is done perfectly. We ask for the same on earth. It teaches us to want what God wants. Question 115 explains what we are asking for.
What can we ask our children?
