Pascha - a heavenly thought

[MariaRegina]

Okay, I have a question ....

The Divine Liturgy is heavenly worship, and a Holy Service is going on everywhere at some church on earth. So during the Divine Liturgy when we are lifted up to the heavenly realm, we become one with all the heavenly hosts in praising God.

So, heaven is enhanced by our worship and made more complete by our presence. True?

Don't the angels rejoice at our presence and especially celebrate the return of even one sinner? Can you just now imagine the joy of the Angels and Saints in heaven whenever we worship at the Divine Liturgy?

Awesome. And I do feel the presence of God's holy ones whenever I participate in the Divine Liturgy.... this is what heaven is all about. Isn't it?

My mind is on heavenly worship ... Food isn't as important to me.
I was privileged to eat the Pascha meal with a visiting monk from Mt. Athos.
Talk about an answer to prayer.

Since I cannot go to Mt. Athos, a monk visited our little church. What a blessing.

I've just experienced the Pascha of the Lord..

Christ is Risen
Indeed He is Risen.

Happy Birthday, Robert!

Since you enjoyed it and it was quickly buried in the pub, I modified it and started a thread which I should have done in the first place.

Again, Many years to you!

Yours in the Risen Lord Jesus Christ,
