Rev 7, 9b-12 Blessing, glory, wisdom be to our God
(Rev 7, 9b-12) Blessing, glory, wisdom be to our God
[9b] They stood before the throne and before the Lamb, wearing white robes and holding palm branches in their hands. [10] They cried out in a loud voice: "Salvation comes from our God, who is seated on the throne, and from the Lamb." [11] All the angels stood around the throne and around the elders and the four living creatures. They prostrated themselves before the throne, worshiped God, [12] and exclaimed: "Amen. Blessing and glory, wisdom and thanksgiving, honor, power, and might be to our God forever and ever. Amen."
(CCC 957) Communion with the saints. "It is not merely by the title of example that we cherish the memory of those in heaven; we seek, rather, that by this devotion to the exercise of fraternal charity the union of the whole Church in the Spirit may be strengthened. Exactly as Christian communion among our fellow pilgrims brings us closer to Christ, so our communion with the saints joins us to Christ, from whom as from its fountain and head issues all grace, and the life of the People of God itself" (LG 50; cf. Eph 4:1-6): We worship Christ as God's Son; we love the martyrs as the Lord's disciples and imitators, and rightly so because of their matchless devotion towards their king and master. May we also be their companions and fellow disciples! (Martyrium Polycarpi, 17: Apostolic Fathers II/3, 396).
