“A genuinely good heart is a heart that is open and alight with understanding. It listens to the sorrows of the world. Our society is wrong to think that happiness depends on fulfilling one's own wants and desires. That is why our society is so miserable...” (Jetsunma Tenzin Palmo, Into the Heart of Life, Snow Lion: 2011, Chapter 9 ‘Practicing the good heart’)

God's Reign
"God confronts us with the dilemma of looking into the future for a 'coming' that is going on now." (Heinz Schurman)
We don't merely ask that the "kingdom come", i.e., grow, as petition. It's also a statment of wonder, of thanks for the great event which we see unfolding before us, and in which unfolding God invites us to participate.
