Chapter Twenty-Eight - The Ritual Year
The life of the saints is the life of Christ himself, continuing throughout the ages.

In the divine liturgy, and especially the Eucharist, we participate in the life of Christ and its events and in the life of the saints, because we are all one body, Christ, the saints and ourselves, and we are all “one in Christ Jesus.”
Chapter Twenty-Six - Our True Homeland

We enter it and spend our whole present life in it. But we strive to leave it with good hope. We must not leave here anything that we might miss there.
