Q124. What is the third petition?

A. \”Your 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 Your will which alone is good;2 that so every one may fulfill his office and calling as willingly and faithfully3 as the angels do in heaven.4
