 The Heavenly Liturgy
The earthly liturgy is a foretaste of the “heavenly liturgy” celebrated in the holy city of Jerusalem toward which we journey as pilgrims, where Christ is sitting at the right hand of God.”  (CSL #8)

It is the worship of the whole Body of Christ of which we are members:

   In the liturgy the whole public worship is performed by the Mystical Body of Jesus Christ, that is by the Head and his members. (CSL #7)
