In company with the apostles and all who have the firstfruits of the Holy Spirit, let us praise God and say:
Lord, hear our prayer.
Almighty God, you raised Christ to glory in heaven,
— may all mankind recognize his presence in the Church.
Lord, hear our prayer.
All-holy Father, you said of Christ: This is my beloved Son, hear him,
— grant that all may hear his voice and be saved.
Lord, hear our prayer.
Send your Spirit into the hearts of your faithful people,
— as cleansing water and refreshing rain.
Lord, hear our prayer.
Send your Spirit to guide the course of nature,
— and renew life over the face of the earth.
Lord, hear our prayer.
We commend to your care all who have died,
— and ask you to strengthen our hope in the resurrection to come.
Lord, hear our prayer.

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.
If you are unable to physically receive Holy Communion, especially if you are under lockdown or in isolation in the midst of this pandemic, make a solemn recitation of this Prayer for Spiritual Communion by Saint Alphonsus Maria de Liguori.
