hyperdulia again Posted October 16, 2007 Author Share Posted October 16, 2007 I don't have to imagine anything! I can go to any Catholic Church anywhere in the world and be in His immediate physical presence. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Certainly we are in the presence of Christ in the adoration of the Eucharist, but in heaven, we are fully united with the Trinity and the communion of saints in a liturgy of endless praise and thanksgiving. If Eucharistic Adoration is on par with heaven, what is the point of heaven in the first place? I still really don't like that song. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thy Geekdom Come Posted October 17, 2007 Share Posted October 17, 2007 I actually like the song a lot. I think that saying it denies the Eucharist is a stretch. We will be before Him in heaven in a different way than we are here on earth. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Autumn Dusk Posted October 17, 2007 Share Posted October 17, 2007 Even being in the presence of God requires some imagination, you can't just use intellect. geesh Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thessalonian Posted October 17, 2007 Share Posted October 17, 2007 I don't think the song downplays the Eucharist. And certainly the prescence of Christ will be at a different level though I will not say that we will be more in his prescence. Rather he will be more completely reveled to us. He will be physically present, where the Eucharist is a sacramental prescence. So lets not be too hard on the song. I still love it but think the Eucharistic application in the video is a good one.
