Christ is in heaven, seated at the right hand of the Father, interceding for us.
He is the way: he is both our destination and the road by which we travel. We can be with him by being like him.
We who are on the earth-side of this way can say to him,
- I’ll do my part.
- I’ll talk to you in prayer.
- I’ll worship you in the Mass.
- I will receive you in the Eucharist.
- I will struggle every day to do your will, including living the moral life you demand, and go to Confession to deal with my failures.
- I will try to be like you, going about doing good (Acts 10:38).
