Communion of Saints

You are sad that cannot get to know that beautiful soul; you are sad that you do not get to spend more time with another. Rejoice! For it is in the communion of saints that we are all re-united with our loved ones, who we will never have the time nor opportunity to love and know fully on earth! In eternity we will be joined in full love and knowledge.

Is it any wonder then, the great rejoicing in heaven over one lost sheep returning to the fold? One more life to be fully loved and known! If that soul were to fall to hell, then it is cut off from the others for eternity. It is no wonder that all the saints are interceding for us; how they long for us to join them in heaven!
