LUMEN GENTIUM , 1964 |
God knew us and loved us before we were born.
Before our flight began,
God planned to upgrade us from human life to divine life
- at the Check In Desk of his Divine Son
God the Son became a man and paid for our upgrade
by his life, death and resurrection
The Church is the Check In Desk set up by Jesus
where all people are invited to receive an upgrade
This upgrade is not a magic "that's it, you're done"
procedure.
It's something to be lived out in friendship with Jesus each day
of our flight here on earth,
until our arrival at the Heavenly Airport
During our flight, the Eucharistic menu
nurtures and nourishes our friendship with
the Captain of our hearts
Jesus, please help us understand more
deeply
how much you have done for us
