In the Eucharist we
receive a foretaste of heaven as we join the heavenly assembly. Could anything be more true, beautiful and
better than the Mass on this side of eternity?
Not only is life
always (for me, at least) interesting and exciting, if sometimes challenging
and painful, but we can also look forward in Christian hope to an eternity of
ever-deeper wonder, joy, and communion with God. As St Paul writes:
What no eye has seen, nor ear heard, nor the human heart conceived, what God has prepared for those who love him (1 Corinthians 2:9).
