Heaven
Eucharist & Confession moments of preparation for both particular judgement & entry into heaven
Confession- particular judgment
Examination of Conscience before sleep forgive, fearful, judge, Paul gives a list
Holy Mass 2 places for forgiveness of venial sins beginning receiving Lord in Blessed Sacrament
Mother Church prepares her children
Approach of death not on of terror
Hail Mary, asks for her presence at the hour of our death
Fear of the unknown
Annunciation, Mary did not know, we who approach death can ask as Mary did, a holy fear
God longs for the moment when He can be our all in all, a great reunion
A greater glory awaits us, like Paul, not presumptuousness
Heaven great reward, overwhelming joy, intensity of happiness
Rev 21:5 “Behold I make all things new”
Eucharist this moment on earth body, blood, soul, divinity
Present without consuming ourselves
Ex burning bush fire present but did not destroy it
Our Lady overshadowed the the Holy Spirit, without losing her identity
Merit, opportunity for heaven is pure grace
But we have a role to play in meriting heaven by cooperating with Him
Chose to do good, active will
Great & merciful God
Tangible, human person, persona Christi “your sins are forgiven”
Eucharist tangible real object, hides Himself under a veil, not yet ready for full Reality
Heaven seems imaginary, but these tangible sacraments keeps the soul rooted in reality
