Heaven at our fingertips!

So I said that personal prayer is a taste of heaven. This is so true. But this is more fully realized in the Mass, when we kneel at the foot of the cross as Christ gives himself through the Eucharist—blessed by God, broken by man and shared with his disciples. The Paschal Mystery was not a single event, but one that transcends time and is still occurring for all of us as we celebrate. So we truly can say that when we are at Mass, we are at the foot of the cross with Mary and the beloved disciple (Jn 19:25). When we are at Mass, we relive the death and resurrection of Christ. And when we get to heaven, God willing, we will be at the foot of his throne, praising and glorifying his name, just as the Scriptures tell us!

O, what a beautiful gift we have been given through the Mass!! And what makes it even better is that it is offered to us every day!!
