Reflection
 76:  Based on Articles 9-10 of  The Sacred Liturgy "SACROSANCTUM CONCILIUM" 


Our, I mean Jesus' (see reflection 75) liturgy is a sample
of his liturgy in Heaven.

Jesus' earthly liturgy uses heavenly words:
"Holy, holy, holy Lord, God of power and might"

Each time we take part in Jesus' earthly liturgy,
our minds should get a holy distraction: Heaven

When we take part in Jesus' earthly liturgy
- that's when we're closest to our deceased relatives and friends

It's as if Jesus' earthly liturgy
already has a foot in Heaven

Jesus, may our earthly liturgy increase our longing for Heaven
and thereby give us more hope and joy and courage
for living each day here on earth
