In joy of spirit let us acclaim Christ, who sits at the right hand of the Father:
Lord Jesus, you are the King of glory.
King of glory, you took with you our frail humanity to be glorified in heaven; remove the sins of the world,
— and restore us to the innocence which was ours before the Fall.
Lord Jesus, you are the King of glory.
You came down from heaven on a pilgrimage of love,
— grant that we may take the same path to your presence.
Lord Jesus, you are the King of glory.
You promised to draw all things to yourself,
— do not allow any one of us to be separated from your body.
Lord Jesus, you are the King of glory.
Where you have gone before us in glory,
— may we follow you in mind and heart.
Lord Jesus, you are the King of glory.
True God, we await your coming as our judge,
— may we see the vision of your glory and your mercy in company with all the dead.
Lord Jesus, you are the King of glory.

The Resurrection of the Body
Saint Paul the Apostle said, “If Christ has not been raised, then our preaching is in vain and your faith is in vain.” The Resurrection of Our Lord from the dead is the ultimate foundation of the Catholic Faith, “the resurrection of the body,” and “life everlasting” as in our Credo. But what will happen to the bodies of the living and the dead after the Second Coming of Christ? Read this Post to find out what it means to have “glorified bodies” in Heaven.
