So, what is the celebrant really inviting us to do when he says, “Lift up your hearts”? He invites us to go to Heaven
***
Such a wonderful explanation!
I had never thought of this in this way, but I will henceforth.
Likewise, after a Msgr. Pope piece that you pinged me to not too long ago, I have been paying closer attention to the Collect as he recommended.
Thanks, FRiend.
**The congregation’s response is meant to be a joyful acknowledgment and acceptance of the Lord’s action in summoning us to the heavenly liturgy.**
I’ve always thought of the angels being all around us during the Mass. We just can’t see them!
I truly believe they are there.
