During the consecration, I was told it is the union of Heaven and Earth....in other words, beyond time and space....if this is true, can we expect perhaps if our relatives who have passed before us and are in Heaven (not purgatory) join with us in this celebration? Is this true and if so, at what exact point of the Liturgy??? Thank you for any insight....
Yes this is so. (I think—I’m willing to be corrected)I have read this in various writings of the saints. It is said that at the “throughHim and with Him and in Him” prayer we are in Union with the Blessed Trinity and the Mystical Body which includes the Church Mikitant and the Church triumphant and the Church suffering. It is also the most efficacious time to present our prayers and intentions to the Father.
All those in heaven are Saints and are thus part of the communion of Saints. We can therefore ask them to intercede for us during any and all prayers, of which the mass is the greatest.
Yes Yes. It even mentions them in the Canon of the Mass. Good to hear from you, David. Hope all is well with you and your family.
Hi Heavenly Hosts. Thank you. I’be been ill for over a month now but thank God I’m still able to get to mass. How are you?
I am sorry to hear you have been ill. I hope you are on the road to recovery. It is always good to hear from you.
I am sorry as well that you are ill. Glad you are able to get to Mass. I will pray for your recovery. I think about you when I am at Adoration and they will have it tomorrow evening Will light a candle for you next to Our Lord I’m doing pretty well, thank you for asking. My husband is recovering from vascular surgery and he is doing very well also We hope the surgeon releases him soon Take care!
HH I had forgotten about your husband I am so sorry. He is back on my prayer list. I will pray for both David and him at my Holy Hour tomorrow.
Prayers for David and Heavenly Host and your families. So many on the forum seem to be bearing huge crosses at the minute.
Wow! Will certainly keep you in prayer. Have been working with St. Therese lately for a few continuing health matters in family. Yes, we do get challenged along the way. God bless you and yours.
Prayers all around for everyone, here.. May Our Lady keep all of you in her loving embrace! Safe Under Mary's Mantle!
Will bring all of you guys before Our Lord in Adore Cast tonight! For those who can not get to Adoration in person, this channel is a miracle. This forum rocks. Thank you, everyone. Finally, I have friends. We have friends!
