Christian Mystery›SECTION ONE THE SACRAMENTAL ECONOMY›CHAPTER ONE THE PASCHAL MYSTERY IN THE AGE OF THE CHURCH›II. Christ's Work in the Liturgy
"In the earthly liturgy we share in a foretaste of that heavenly liturgy which is celebrated in the Holy City of Jerusalem toward which we journey as pilgrims, where Christ is sitting at the right hand of God, Minister of the sanctuary and of the true tabernacle. With all the warriors of the heavenly army we sing a hymn of glory to the Lord; venerating the memory of the saints, we hope for some part and fellowship with them; we eagerly await the Savior, our Lord Jesus Christ, until he, our life, shall appear and we too will appear with him in glory."
