Heaven & Earth Meet In Communion

The Catholic Church teaching on the communion of saints expands the scope of God's family from those who are on earth to those who are in heaven and purgatory. This doctrine not only honors God, but it also allows us to share in the life and work of the Trinity. How absolutely awesome to recognize that the body of Christ is not limited by time and space; rather, it transcends it!

 

"The glory which you have given me I have given to them, that they may be one even as we are one, I in them and you in me, that they may become perfectly one..." (John 17:22-23).
