NEW JERUSALEM "The One seated on the throne spoke: 'I make all creation new.'" What is new? The novelty is that now God's own people live in God's own city, New Jerusalem. Here God lives intimately with his bride: us. Finally the Christmas promise arrives. Here and now is the time of Emmanuel, God-with-us. Until the fulfillment, we continue the Messiah work as do Barnabas and Paul. We thrive on eucharistic nourishment that gives a foretaste of glory divine: the Holy Eucharist of the New Jerusalem. Taste and see how good it is. Text, Philip J. Sandstrom, STD © 2000, OCP. All rights reserved.
