“And he said unto them, When ye pray, say, Our Father which art in heaven, Hallowed be thy name. Thy kingdom come. Thy will be done, as in heaven, so in earth.”
The second person plural address shifts the prayer from private petition to communal liturgy: the disciples pray together as a community that shares a common Father, needs common provision, seeks common forgiveness, and faces common temptation. The kingdom petition — your kingdom come — stands at the prayer's center, orienting every other request toward the eschatological horizon.
