Christological Dimensions of Heavenly Life- A Theological Reflection

Abstract

The risen Lord is present in the Church through the proclamation of the Word and the celebration of the sacraments, especially the Eucharist, offering believers a deeper union with Him. While these experiences of Christ's presence are significant, they do not compare to the unique and ultimate experience of the beatific vision in heaven. Union with Christ in this life is a foretaste of the perfect union to come in heaven. As Pope Francis emphasizes, Jesus has prepared a place for us in heaven, and through His humanity, He leads us to eternal life, where we will be united with Him forever.
